You are absolutely correct. This PM is as ignorant as they come. He probably thinks he is the king, (a PM with powers of a king). The sadder part is there are many people in India who think the PM has this authority. But, there are people in India who can give anyone a run for their money on the true concepts of a democracy and how a country ought to be run under such a system. Unfortunately, only touts and louts are in control of the country. --Ram On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 12:00 PM, Chan Mahanta <[email protected]> wrote: > He directed that thorough investigations should be held by the ministries > concerned into complaints of "procedural and other irregularities" and > "those found guilty should face severe and exemplary punishment". > > > *** IF even the PM is IGNORANT of the fundamental concepts of the DEMOCRACY > he is the head of, what could anyone expect of most of the rest? > > How can MMS ," DIRECT" ( read order) " severe and exemplary punishment" of > the guilty ?
