RE:CPI-M expels Somnath Chatterjee
by INDER KRISHEN WALI on Jul 24, 2008 01:16 AM

The party high command may issue a whip but if they punish any M.P. for following his/her conscience then The ECI should act and ask for an explanation call from the respective parties. The WHIP is like a Fatwa issued by extremists and fundamentalists in illiterate and undeveloped Muslim Countries. Then what is the difference between the functioning of parties in a Democracy and the extremists groups. The very purpose of a Democracy and spending Income tax Payers hard earned Income on the maintenance of the Institution of Parliament in a Democratic country gets defeated the moment the M.P.s are punished for following their conscience. Shouldn’t the Supreme Court of India accept this humble Note as a PIL?
