This column is nothing but the stand of an apologist. The actions of the president and the Supreme court are beyond reproach. The fact of the matter remains that any action taken by the governer or the speaker(s) should have been within the ambit of the constitution, legislative guidelines and reasonable discretion. If their actions are beyond rationale, then the president and the supreme court have to step in to protect the constitution, even without receiving delegations. Fact of the matter remains, nobody is a hero in this episode.
