At the time when Indian politics is losing a lot on it's character we sincerely need people like Shri Somnath Chatterjee. He has created a special position for himself in the history of India's Parliament. A man of his status needs not be told by the party what he must do and how he must behave. He is one of those few who have been responsible to bring the 'Left' to todays status. If the present days' managers of the Left-Parties can just manage to keep up the standards and values created by people like Mr Somnath Chatterjee the party may continue to flourish. Few of the present managers of Left remember the sacrifices made by their past leaders while enjoying the good times bestowed upon them only because they are part of a particular lobby. And, not because they created it all. Some people tend to forget fast the history and background that forms a foundation to any great affair. Anyway, I personally, in the capacity of an Indian am all for Shri Somnath Chatterjee. He has all the right to continue as the Speaker of the Lok-Sabha. His position is not some thing that can be questioned. He has been elected unopposed that clearly shows respect of the house irrespective of parties or people in the house. Politics must be kept away from certain positions ... 'Lok-Sabha speaker' is one of those. May he set an example for the people who form part of this gracious house in the times to come.

Well said. Mr. Somnath is a great leader and CPI parties need his judgment during this crisis in the Parliament. His replacement will be a totally biased person towards Congress.
