dangerous designs
by nalin on Jul 24, 2008 02:52 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

That communists are anti-nationals is not a new fact
They have always stood against national interests and tried causing harm to the nation
in one covert way or other

but now they are making the most direct and outrageous attempt at putting the
interests of India in jeopardy by promoting Mayahaathi as prime ministerial candidate
and if god-forbid they succeed in this tht wud be the end of indian story, an ultimate service to china,huh?

Without going into the merits or dmerits of the N-Deal or of the survival of tghe Govt of the day, I would like to emphasise that the acts of omissions & commissions of the Speaker(including that of declaring the feeble voice of Ayes as the loudest) were alone(or mainly)
responsible (or irresponsible!) for the survival. It was a Game well played by the Speaker. CPI(M)sdhould have taken note of his designs much eatrlier.

The Aye button must be programmed to be feeble!

Possibly you are an idiot who cannot help it. But do you necessarily have to proclaim it so loudly for all and sundry to hear??

somnath is now aamnath
by bala narayanan on Jul 24, 2008 02:34 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Come on friends...let us not make him a hero...and is he impartial..the reason he cited for not stepping down is he cannot vote along with BJP...the same somnath is the architect in an earlier time Left voted along with BJP...and he is not a man of ethics..since sitting in the chair he preaches philosopy...as a party what CPM has done is right...I am not a a marxist

Very Rightly Put !! Somanth is nothing but an opportunist... BJP was good enough for him when they didnt oppose his candidature for Speaker's post. He is not Impartial as a Speaker Should be. Even on the day of the vote, he was seen heckling his own party cadres needlessly.

In perspective
by Guest on Jul 24, 2008 02:03 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Somnath belonged to a party in whose ideology the individual has no place. The party is supreme. He accepted that ideology more than 50 years ago and practised it ever since. Now he can not turn around and say that his position as speaker of LS makes him independent. As speaker, while presiding, he can and should be independent. But how can he claim independence from the party on whose name he became MP and thus eligible for entering LS and was accommomdated as speaker by an arrangement his PARTY had with UPA? I am not a fan of CPM but think dispassionately on this issue. Where did he get this individualism all of a sudden? His party treats individuals expendable for the 'good' of society as they see it. The party does not recognise invidual aceivement and treats all acheivers and innovators as class enemies of the proletariat. Then?
Hypothetically speaking, if India decides to withdraw from UN, shouldn't all indian officials on deputation to UN return? Can they claim they, as UN officials, are above nationality? Private Indian individuals employed by UN need not return. Similarly, all those who got positions of power like Vice Chancellors using blackmailing power of Yechury or Karat need not resign. But Somnath SHOULD'VE resigned.

What is a party without people??? Party's ideology is people's ideology not something that comes down from heaven or hell.

Also in a democratic set up party is nothing people is primary, as all the big big ideology goes down the drain when begging for votes. Does that leech Karat and his chamchas not feel that only due to the public figures like Chatterjee's who win election after election they (Karat & Co) are getting some relevance in the Indian Politics otherwise who knows Karat & Yechuri???

Hats off to Somnathji
by john kennedy on Jul 24, 2008 01:35 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Somnathji is a great son of India. He brought glory to the Country through his excellent conduct of the parliment session. Karats problem is his ego. he thinks no end of himself. Speakers post is not like a vegetable vendor. Karat and his coterie should understand the democratic values and principles. Somnathji should be made the next president of the country as he has all the qualities and capacity. Congress should support Somnathji and ask him to continue as the speaker.

You are absolutely right. Karat has done anything to CPM. But Somnathjis experience is not the age. Definitely this is ego. I am sure, if lefts don't change their ways, no future for them among indian youths.

Beginning of the end
by springvale on Jul 24, 2008 01:23 PM  Permalink 

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of outdated, defunct, useless, anti-development commies in India. Thank god, they could only spoil two states in india, they have tried very hard to screw up rest of India also, thankfully MMS stood ground & shot back after getting pinched for four years.

No doubt Prakash Karat & his crinnies will go down to dustbin in the next election & forever for the good of India.

Chatterjee had no backers in CPM
by TP Vijay on Jul 24, 2008 01:22 PM  Permalink 

It is obvious that Mr.Chatterjee had no backers in CPM Central Committee where only Prakash Karat's Chamchas would be accomodated.This snob had sent this country to brink by stalling all economic reform efforts of GOI and started thinking himself as their demy God Stalin. Once our PM put his foot down he behaved like a Psychophant. He could not understand the eventuality of his new friendship with Mayawati and BJP in the next election in West Bengal and Kerala. He will certainly find another scapegoat if result become shocking.He has forgotten one thing after enjoying so much power without shouldering any responsibility that India is not China where his Bosses can any thing they feel like.

Somanathji - A Good Speaker but not a disciplined partyman
by Ignatious Abraham on Jul 24, 2008 01:07 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Nobody disagree with me if I say Mr.Somanth Chatterjee is the Best Speaker, Loksabha had ever seen. During his tenure, he didn't even spared the Marxist MPs. But the expulsion of him from the party was a bold step. Somnathji became speaker only because he was elecetd as a CPM MP and the CPM agreed to accept the speaker post. I have one question to Somnathji? every congress supporter is saying that Somnathji is impartial and a speaker must rise above party line...But it is now open that Somnathji wrote to Karat about his disinclination to vote with BJP...was it not a political statement?
If he continued in the spesker post during the trust vote to fulfill his constitutional responsibilities, why he didn't resign after the trust vote?
If he dislike BJP so much..then why did he support V P Singh govt. with BJP?
Why did he accept the support of BJP during the speaker election?
Somnathji..you had given speeches in depth as a Marxist MP against liberalisation and globalisation accusing the current P.M. and F.M.
suddenly you forget all your relationship with your parent party?
What did the congress party's offer to you for this betrayel? the next president post or vice president?
Somnathji...are you thinking that it is futile to be with CPM since it cannot rule India so that you may get some ministerial berth...
Dear Somnathji we are really sorry and disappointed by your behaviour????
These congressmen love you now only to save their govt....they will dump you soon

really sad behaviur from Somenath Chatterjee.
i do not agree CPM mps were not brought.
SC was brought if not in ash in kind.
another is also there by name of Subhas Charkabrty is West BEngal.
CPM needs to get rid of that rotten person if it needs to be truly loved and respected

it is not right to ask some one to follow blindly any party orders without assesing the merrits and demerrits of it. i feel what somanath did is right and justfull at this point.

Hello, CPM also in the same boat. They will accept whatever the china do? Even if they kill students in tianmen square. These Prakash karat group can also join hands with Mayavathi. What is wrong with Somnath chatterji's stand. Now he is holding a constitutional post. So he cannot do politics now.
