We are fortunate that we have Manmohan, Atal, Somnath, Sonia and other such people in politics. These are good people. We must encourage good people and try to support them. The politics is started becoming impossible since hijacked by holigans and power loads. We salute the democracy and leaders come to respect democracy.

Just a few points on Sonia,
She married Rajiv in 1968 and came to India but retained her italian citizenship and did not become an Indian citizen till....guess? 1983 a full 15 years. - Patritiotism? In 1971 war all commercial pilots were also asked to report for war duty. In the whole of India, only 1 pilot did not turn up - Rajiv Gandhi. Sonia took rajiv to the italian consulate and hid there. Fighting for the good of the country? During 1975 emergency, again sonia and rajiv were at the italian consulate. - personal interest or national interest? India does not allow dual citizenship. However, till date we do have records of her giving up her italian citizen ship. - loyalty to the nation? Points to ponder?
