Speaker's position
by G.Venkateswaran on Jul 17, 2008 03:16 PM

I wnat to bring to the notice of the readers two important points:
1. Can somebody tell me what is communal in politics. They term BJP as a communal party and will not align with them. But is not the PDP, IUML, and others communal too. All the parties do not have any reservations in aligning with these parties and will go to any extent in aligning with them. All the political parties are silent when the land given for the construction of the pilgrim centre to the Amarnath board is revoked. Is this secularism or communal. Parties supporting hindus are communal while parties supporting other communities are called secularists. It happens only in India
2. Shri. Somnath Chatergee should know that first and foremost he is an MP elected on a party ticket and then only he became Speaker of the Loksabha. Had he not been elected to the Loksabha based on party affiliations will he be elected as Speaker. If that is the case nominated members can become speaker. Why are people not highlighting these facts. Even the media is not doing so. I do not know why? If I am wrong kindly correct me.
