Somnath has conducted himself very well with extreme dignity as an a-partisan speaker and is very well suited to be the next President of India, probably better than the present incum- bent. He is the only living link from the Nehru era. I do not understand why CPM wants to make him a scapegoat of its senseless politics and make India lose a good guy into wilderness. Once he became a speaker, it is assumed he has broken off all his previous political links. India needs him more than CPM. I wish he stays and he makes up his mind not to quite Lok Sabha. He represents the old value system of utmost honesty & uprightness that every Indian wants to look in its leader.
