Both Somnath and Karat are right in their own ways strictly going by the rule book. it is ok, but it is the CPM which will be the loser ultimately. Considering his distinguished service to the party and the Parliament for over four decades if the party treats him like this and acts without proper application of mind, surely the party is going to pay dearly for such short sighted move.But for him, the LEFT and the BJP almost sabotaged the TRUST motion session . serious constitutional impass could have resulte if he had not managed the session deftly. perhaps that was the aim of these people.
