What a stinging rebuke this ! The President seems to have come of age in his role as the saviour of our constitution, finally. Just when you loose all hopes from this nation, something comes back to you saying , yes, we are still alive.
Kalam's returning of the bill of the Office of profit back to the parliament may just be that miniscule ray of hope. Just to save one lady's parliament seat, the entire government machinary was used to twist the Constitution. The shameless speaker who so brazenly refused to resign in wake of opposition to his holding an office of profit and the rest of the "ruling class" were riding a high horse thinking no one can pull them up. Just then the President struck.
The bill may pass finally, but not without an egg on the already battered Congress face.
Wonder where the clerk [Manmohan Singh] is in all this. He is, as always, INVISIBLE.
