1. From various comment it is evident that if Mrs Patil is elected as President by these the UPA, Left political parties, she will hardly be the President of people of India.
She will be the President of the UPA, Left political parties of India that we the people of India elected.
We are not against a woman President. We would like one with a clean record and no bag-age, not a supporter of the obnoxious Emergency..
We understand governorships being doled out to party has-beens, but the Presidentship must go to an unbiased, non aligned person.
2. We do not support Shekhavat as he is a 4th Std. pass, 82 year old gentleman unsuitable for Presidentship. You will not even appoint a 4th Std. pass Peon in your office, would you?
3. Without a shred of doubt and despite his age, Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was the overwhelming choice of the people of India. But he has been hurt and wounded by to the machinations and manipulations of the wily politicians.
4. Why should there NOT be retirement age of 70 in politics to give impetus to young talent, since over 60% people of India are below 35?
5. You know, of course that: -- the Presidential Elections are violative of articles 14, 21, 54, 55(3), 58, 71(3) and 324 of the Constitution of India. -- Issuing whip to vote a particular candidate is an offense u/s sections 171C and 171F of the IPC.
-- That issuing of a Whip in favour of a particular candidate should be prohibited in the Presidential Elections through a Writ of Prohibition. -- Rules made u/s 5B(a) and 5C (1) of the Presidential and Vice Presidential Election Act 1952 are ultra vires to the Constitution. -- According to article 58 (b) the President should be 35 years and above (the entry point). But usually they are beyond 70 (the exist point). All this, therefore, also suggests retirement at 70 to politicians so that meritorious young people can prove their worth.
6. If our representatives do not reflect the opinion of India, who will? They were elected BY the people, FOR the people and they ought to representatives OF of the people. Shouldn't they?
7. Shekhavat has absolutely no chance and we need to defeat Pratibha Patil for supporting Emergency.
Onkar Singh, you are not partisan, are you? You must urge and encourage each member of electoral college to exercise her/his choice freely without politicizing the highest office in the land.
So write accordingly -- please -- so that the voice and views of the people of India ring loud and clear in their heads. These so called elected MPs and MLAs are expected to vote as per their conscience and commitment to the people of India who do not want the highest chair of honour to be vulnerable to corruption.
Please rally round this cause. Jai Hind.
