There should be a bar of age for high public offices. Age must have taken its toll on the Speaker. Chatterje forgets that he cannot be the Speaker without being an MP first. As an MP he belongs to the CPIM. Thereore if his party suspends him he ceases to be an MP because he alone cannot command one third as a splinter group. That means he would cease to remain the Speaker. He had better resign and should not lower the dignity of the office of Speaker.
