mr chatterjee became the speaker based on the recomendation of CPI(M) which was supporting the UPA govt. When CPI(M) had withdrawn the support to the govt, mr chatterjee held on to the post of the speaker, indicating that the post was beyond the party... and now the party feels that it doesnt require him as a member any more...
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) respected democracy???
I dont think there will be any Bengal lobby and Kerala lobby building up on this issue... cos there is no objections to this decision even from Bengal... CPI(M) is a party where no indvidual is above the party...
afterall if "once an MP is elected as a speaker he ceases to the member of any party.", then what is wrong in the party expelling mr chatterjee...
