Death of Democracy

On 22nd july it was one of the saddest day in the history of Indian democracy. Though there had been allegations about the bribery of the MP’s but on that day the proof was shown to the world in a dramatic fashion when three MP’s from B.J.P. showed wads of currency notes they were payed to vote for the govt. This naked show of curruption undermines the credibility of Dr. Manmohan Singh's govt. even though it has won the trust vote. There should be a probe by the C.B.I. for the allegations and if found to be true then the guilty MPs should be suspended from Parliament and barred from the elections. Dr. Manmohan Singh should resign because the victory in the trust vote was not a clean victory. Though I am a strong supporter of the nuclear deal I feel that to sign this deal by getting mandate through currupt means is unethical. It is a sad commentry that the ethics and politics don't seem to be together.
