India must be the only country in a democracy that allows convicts to vote in the parliament. In all other parts of the world, such people are either forced to resign or have their seats vacated by an act of parliament. It is also interesting to note that these convicts will vote for the survival of the UPA government, and they are being called honourable. Reminds me of the great speech by Mark Antony at the podium for he had come to bury Ceaser and not praise them, while the conspirators were referred to as honourable.
