On personal front, I resemble more like an independent as in the US. I am glad that an elected Govt is not being pulled down because of clash of egoes, vested interest, filmsy ideological moorings, political overtures, personal animosity or ambition. On the other hand my heart gets heavy to witness the unruly behaviour from a section of MPs whose primary mandate is to strengthen the hands of indian democratic polity. Both Prakash and Advaniji have expressed anguish over the alleged corrupt practices indulged in garnering support for the trust vote. But BOTH ARE PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENGINEERING AN EARLY DOWNFALL OF AN ELECTED GOVT, MORE SO, KEEPING IN VIEW THE IMMINENT ELECTION WITHIN FEW MONTHS TIME. These kinds of opportunities embolden the hands of racketeers and fixers which escalate their greeds and manoevering power. IT TRIGGERS UP NUISANCE VALUES. The PM was not allowed to speak even- this is beyond all decency and decorum that parliamentary democracy certainly demands for. I expect a strong condemnation from the PM on the bribery issue. When this scenario is viewed in the US, the kind of image projection is obvious. The Pakistanis will say, oh that's Indians are proud of, the Chinese will say, we would have given exemplary punishment. THE LESSON LEARNT IS "NO CONFIDENCE MOTION SHOULD BE USED JUDUCIOUSLY, ONE CAN STALL THE PROCEEDINGS, LUNG OUT THEIR OUTBURSTS, TAKING PEOPLE TO THE STREETS, SO MANY OPTIONS ARE BEING LEFT OUT. WE SHOULD NOT ELECT DUBIOUS PEOPLE.
