It is a plain truth that Somnath is not resigning from the post of Speaker to avoid voting along side the BJP. He not not staying there to uphold the dignity of the post but for his convenience. Had he not made this argument that he would like to continue a speaker to uphold the apolitical nature of the job, I would have respected him highly. But he is doing politics being incharge of a apolitical constitutional post. Please do not give too much credit to him. I definitely did not expect this kind of argument from a senior editor like Neerja.
