We need people like Somnath da
by Prabhakar Agrawal on Jul 27, 2008 12:32 PM

Well done dada, you are certainly head above most of the present Indian politicians, you are a real statesman.How could you remain so cool, so balanced and humorous amidst these rogue parliamentarians who were shouting, interrupting and distubing every moment.Of course it was a trust vote sought by the PM, but it was also clear that it was an opinion on Nuclear Deal between India and USA. Every time our country has tried to take help of latest technology for the development of people, the opposition has opposed vehemently. They used to mislead common farmers that if Dams like Bhakra Nangal come up they will generate elctricity which means take out power from water, that powerless water will be useless for irrigating your land.Misled illiterate people agitated. When computers and telecommunication were to be brought on large scale they opposed through Labour unions. Now they are opposing Nuclear power without knowing what is it. I think most of the MPs cannot even write nuclear energy correctly in any language.
Communists are opposing as we are taking help of America, BJP is opposing because it thinks that the credit will be taken by Congress.
Somnathji understands all this, he knew that anybody else on that day in that Speaker's chair would not be able to handle the proceedings properly, so correctly he did not resign. He handled everything marvellouly, he was impartial throughout and drew respect of everyone. We need people like him as speakers of assemblies, as governors
