why so? did any party member from bengal oppose the decision? chatterjee became the speaker on the recomendation of CPI(M) which was supporting the UPA govt. When CPI(M) had withdrawn the support to thhe govt, mr chatterjee held on to the post of the speaker, indicating the post was beyond the party... One thing to be noted is tat CPI(M) had expelled him only after allowing him to discharge his duties as the speaker of the house... isnt it... wasnt that because the CPI(M)s respect to democracy??? CPI(M) is a party where no indvidual is above the party...
