The post of speaker is considered above party affiliation as the same has to discharge the speaker's duty impartially.But the arrogant posture shown by the CPI in the No Confidence motion was a clear indication that they will show the same arrogancy against their very sr. collegue honourable Sh. Somnath ji. also. This seems to be beginning of the downfall of this party. Dr. Tejpaul Ahluwalia, New Delhi.

If the article is to be believed honourable Somnathjee did not behave honourably.He can not have best of both the worlds.If he takes the stand that speaker post is neutral,he shud have acted neutrally and written Karat to not vote alongwith BJP.If he has actually done that then he no longer remains neutral hence no longer fit to be the speaker.His continuing as a speaker is a threat to democracy itself.
Somenath is in this position because of his party CPM. The decision to lend him for speakership was taken by the party. Now he wants to enjoy(foreign trip other government facilities) the position that the party is opposed to. This is some sort of defection. He showed immaturity. But CPM should sticked it it's position that Somenath is not above party before trust vote took place. Instead their official explanation was,"Somenath is free to take his own decision". This is not transparency.I do not foresee party will lose any thing as he is not a mass leader. His aristrocracy brought him to this position.It will be a blunder from his part if he tries to hobnob with Congress now.
Somnath is better without the support of this worthless group of people, for whom party constitution take precedence over indian constitution as stated by Biman Bose yesterday.
Mr. Somnath Chaterjee displayed a great courage standing firm on the things, he believed in. We need people like him to be there at fore front to prevent the farce that is being played by most of the indian politicians, and making mockery of the parliamentary democracy.

CPM saying BJP is a communal party but wht abt Mayaboti ? I think she is also Communal ( she won on d dend of Jat-pat) like BJP. N she is very dengr than BJP.
The PB has no moral as they have betrayed the all people of Kerala when they have got tremendous win in last LS. People of Kerala voted for them to remove the congress from the power, but they have decided to support Congress because only the reason for they do not want BJP in power, even though the ideology differs they supported congress to from a government. But at present it seems that they have with BJP. This means PB changes its decision each and every moment. But the personality of Chatterjee is such that he could not play the way PB wants. Chatterjee has high moral and he decided to support PB's decision to back congress which they have taken before 4 years. I appreciated the courage shown by the Chatterjee.
He become the role model for future speakers. Future Young India will salute this Man for his action. Mr Karat is noway near to him. I will give 100% to Somnath and 0% to Karat.

Yes i really fear for his safety from the gonda Karat and his chinese agents- Centre should provide him security
That make no difference to Mr.Chatterjee or CPM. Everyone knows includes CPM that they will not get 59 members as enjoyed now. There number will reduce maximum by 5 to 6 in the next election. But we should salute Mr.Chatterjee for his bold steps not to support for communal forces

Mr. Sanal Kumar, you should know that though currently the Congress has tie-up with the Congress, it was in the Government headed by CPI(M) inducted Ministers belonging to Muslim League in Kerala. The CPI(M) has lot its ideology long back.

believe me it has deep implication for congress. they had a Pyrrhic victory, which they claim is the oppositions (Pyrrhic part). they have embraced people like babubhai katara whom they criticized.
as for cpi and cpm - they find themselves in the hands of mayawati - they probably no longer have the chance of being part of the government. they have double standards for bengal and the nation, and they lost the decent face of communists - somnath!

Next election Commis will get 10 or 15 seats. Remember 19 Mps from Kerala - they never again get the seats in Kerala in their life.

Which Party in India is not communal ? Perhaps , to you , Communal means supporting hindus and not muslims.

I am not anti Hindus, pro muslims or pro christians. But the BJP has only one agenda 'ayodya' (now they shift for sethusamudram). I am not saying all BJP or Hindus have this agenda, but BJP are controlling by RSS, Bajrangdal & Shiv sena with only thinking Ram, ayodya, kashi etc etc. But in the case of Congress, today's polititcs not allowing them to get a single majority so they accepting the support from state based political parties include Kerala Congress or Muslim League. These parties have a communal background but nothing doing for any communal instead their pocket. But still Congress accepting their support. If congress not accept what BJP do? they will not accept the support ?
