its a hoax/fake email ... article 49 talks about protection of our monuments ...
http://www.indianexpress.com/news/the-chatteranti/394809/1 experts from the article ... There is one, for example, that says that our Constitution (article 49-O, it specifically says) entitles us to go to a polling booth and say we do not want to vote for anyone, and if the number of such votes is higher than votes polled by the leading candidate, the election will be set aside and nobody will be elected. So that is the way to fix the political class which, realising that, has kept that article under wraps. Now most of us passed our class X Civics a long time ago, and God alone knows how, so let's not question anybody's knowledge of our Constitution. But none of the thousands of very well-educated, rich, successful, respectable people through whom this silly mail has passed and been forwarded, have bothered to check that venerable document. For, if they did, at least one myth would have been set at rest: Article 49 deals with something very important, but it is not the right of negative vote, but the protection of our monuments. Similar, stupid, flippant and dangerous mythologies continue to be built: that we spend more on the SPG than on the NSG, the implication being that we value the lives of our prime minister and president more than those of ordinary citizens. Nobody checked the facts, probably because if they turn out different, they may demolish the entire hypothesis. Why let facts come in the way of holy indignation? -Chandan On Sun, Dec 7, 2008 at 3:06 AM, kankan roy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: There is a movement all over India about 49-O http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/49-O Some say if cast as 49-O and majority of votes are 49-O then no one gets elected for that region and none of them are electable. I sincerely hope that be so. If not change 49-O to be so. It is time the gang of four - Sonia ManMohan Rahul Pranab are banished for ever from India by Indians. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
