"But the Speaker's office should not be brought under the purview of party discipline or party machinery," No. He should have resigned from primary membership of CPM the moment he came no that he will not resign as speaker. Double standards and dubious methods. If bribing has to take place at that level, what happens to a common man at hands of government officials. Laders should live by example rather than moral teachings like management gurus preaching means and method that they never follow.
Public morality should be restored with all costs. Dont't you think so.
