"Regarding decisive power of Delhi, we have a central government which we elect" We = People of mainstream. Do you think states which have 1 or 2 MPs get proper hearing in Delhi? Imagine Delhi has 5 MPs and the whole stae of Kerala 9. Who will have power? " It so happened in this case that state government repeatedly failed to achieve peace with its own resources." Delhi government conceded before Supreme Court that it cannot maintain peace if Delhi masterplan is implemented as ordered by court and as ordained by law of land. What did the center do then? Pardoned all law breakers and legalize their illegal act. Why was no AFSPA implemented there? Why this double treatment?

Thanks for starting new thread.
You may remember, government was forced to adhere to the Supreme Court's directions and had to enforce law and order as well, before the law breakers find support in legislators and the validity of the act is still pending before Supreme Court.
The reason behind double treatment is armed struggle. In Delhi situation was brought under control with water cannons, baton charges, etc by local police and paramilitaries itself. But in the present case, people are not protesting unarmed with stone pelting or crude arms. They use advanced weaponry beyond control of local police. You won't be willing to force a constable with a baton to go in front of an insurgent with automatic rifle?

Regarding representation. It is a serious question, but it has no straight answers too. Only solution can be that elected representatives are responsible and good enough to take a collective view of country and the responsibility to find them among us and get a parliament we deserve rests on our shoulders, as we are the ones supposed to vote.
