Every political leader is faced with a temptation to override institutional procedures in the garb of speed and efficiency. Leaders with a political majority even have the ability to fulfill those temptations. But succumbing to such temptations will be a betrayal of the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters and founding fathers in establishing the sovereign republic of India ... Manmohan Singh
The self declared lone crusader against corruption and black money, a friend of super rich Gujarati industrialists, Mr.Modi, doesn't appoint Lok Pal and Lok Ahyuktas, even after "the eminently workable piece of legislation" is passed by Parliament 4 years ago and Supreme Court questioning the delay but finds Talaq bill urgent citing Supreme Court's ruling. Needless to say Talaq bill was badly drafted without seeking inputs from anyone, ahead of 2019 general elections. Is India a democracy or an authoritarian regime? Without winning confidence of minorities (nearly 19% of population) Modi government will never be able claim it as a legitimate democratic government.
