I feel that a very dangerous situation has emerged here in the context of confusion on 123 agreement.
Look, firstly, the left even though claiming to be given the outside support, is a part of the government, as being part of the co-ordination meeting and having an insider's information and influence on the government functions. Still, they do not take the attached responsibility, and always oppose the government later on, inspite of all along supporting the government and having insider and details movements and intentions of the government.
Secondly, as Left plays both the part of government and the opposition, the real opposition has been rendered powerless, privledgeless and without any appeallate authority. The speaker further aggravates the problem as he doesn't lets them speak, or raise their voice, and the higher authority, namely the president is of no use. (Remember the recent Goa Assembly crisis). Thus, the complete parliamentary form of functioning is reduced to kind of a family-held business.
A new example of this is the recently formed committee of Govt-Left. Now, the opposition didn't had the say in the negotiations of 123 in the first place, then they were not allowed to raise their voice in parliament in form of discussion and voting, and now are not a part of the committee. Such insult of such important opposition is truly uncalled for.
I think the opposition should collectively resign from parliament, when there is no place for them in its functio

Who is that opposition party? Is it by Advani who cannot stick to his own statement. Made some comments in Pak on Jinnah and later U-turn. They are not constructive opposition part - their aim is to oppose everything till they come to power. Kick them out

Get into the habit of listening... what nirmal singh has said has 100% validity... The person only presented the fact sheet.. Real Opposition Party is NDA/BJP, not Left... Left is only agitator.. Left is part of the government, not outside the government... IT is the opposition JOB to have committee established in such a way that there voices are equally heard... what is that MM singh is saying that he is surprised at the opposition of BJP in nuclear deal? Please MM singh, you are much smarter than that... It is your cripped government, and its forces within that doesn't allow the participation of Opposition in this important foriegn policy issue... with 145 seats in Parliament, congress is not the voice of India.. This is a democracy.. Furthermore, it is not 50s 60s, and 70s, when it was a family run democracy...
