-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Goanetters annual meet in Goa is scheduled for Dec 27, 2005 @ 4pm | | | | Watch this space for more details | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lal Krishna Advani should be ridiculed for his stand that the expulsion of 11 MP's caught in the cash for questions saga was not commensurate with the crime they have committed. In fact the 10 Lok Sabha and one Rajya Sabha MPs should not be allowed to get away with a mere expulsion but should also face criminal charges and be prosecuted in accordance with law. It is imperative that such people be debarred from holding any public office for life.
Such a deterrent may be the only hope to bring some sanity and reputation to the highest legislative body of our country whose name and sanctity has been tarnished by tainted and scam ridden MP's over the last few years. It is not surprising to note that the BJP which has always claimed to be a party with a difference has been demanding that mercy be shown to the MPs for the obvious reason that its head count of MPs in Parliament would slide with 7 of their MP's shown the door. It's not shinning for the BJP and there is no feel good factor amongst its cadres. With the cash for questions MPs expelled, Parliament will have to urgently deal and show no double standards with the other batch of 7 MPs caught negotiating cuts in the MPLAD scheme. The offence is much more serious and one that needs to be dealt with a heavy whip to make sure it sets an example to our ever so power hungry and cash greedy people's representatives who get elected to serve themselves rather than toil for the people who vote them to office. The seven MPs include our own Churchill Alemao whose versions of facts mysteriously keep changing by the day alike Jagat Singh's twisted versions in the Volcker controversy. To err is human and the ever so God fearing Churchill would be well advised to face the facts with humility and dignity as it would be next to impossible for him to defend and negate something so clear that has been caught on video. On what grounds will Churchill try to maneuver out of this critical crisis one wonders! Aires Rodrigues ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
