Speaker
by aandhi on Jul 20, 2008 08:34 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

This is simply an article far from truth with a definite purpose just to create confusion in the ranks of left.
Somnath chaterji is speaker of Lok Sabha simply because he was elected on CPI-M ticket, otherwise he could not have been a speaker and afterwards also he would have held a party post. A person can be said apolitical if he resigns from the membership of his parent party after getting elected as speaker.
Somnath has conducted parliament in the worst possible manner openly being unfair.
Somnath is and has been a political person and is in no case above party politics, He is openly opposing and showing his nature by saying that he does not want to vote alongside BJP.
His constituency has been declared reserved, so he can not be a candidate from that constituency which has forced him to look for greener pastures with the help of Congress.

It is wrong to say that he won becuase of CPIM ticket. He has won 8 times 40 years is no less figure.And the one who are asking him to resign are Karat and Yechuri who have never won or even faught corporal elections, all back door leaders.Karat himself studied in London and now telling others to be anti west.If election takes place who will come power in next election?BJP as we all know.So whom Karat is helping? It is ironical that Karat is with Mayawati who is as honest as we know now She is agree to take support of Ateeq Ahmad who killed BSP MLA. What kind of BSP leader she is standing with murderer of her own party MLA. As these crooks will return again in next election it is better this govt survives one more year saving Money wasted in Mid term election. If we have better alternative we should go for election but next parliament will be agian hung with devgauda, Ajit Sibu all bargaining for money.

In that case, bring a motion to formally move to sack Somnath Chatterjee.
Since sacking of Somnath Chatterjee has not been introduced as formal motion to Lok Sabha, he will remain speaker.
Respect parliamentary processes otherwise we risk being seen as a laughable democracy where goondaism, threats and bullying is preferred over rule of law.
