Dear Raj, Two things a speaker has to keep with him. First his loyalty to the party which made him a BIG SIR. Second to the post he holds. As you said I am not contradicting my self or confusing any body. Indian politics reuqires fairness and honesty to the party first because politics is every where from moon to sky and the party is ofcourse represents people, not the leadres. When a party takes a decision by its leadres that means it is taken for the people and by the people. When his political leadership i.e., the people wants him to withdraw he must obey. That is a question of fairness to his people at central Kolkata at the Mecca of the Indian Marxism.
The other thing about the efficiency of the speaker as he is an MA (Cantab) and Bar at Law and a good parliamentarian there is no doubt that he is fit and efficent till the day of 21st. From that day two opinions emerged in the society about a speaker. Before that there was only one. Why? The sabha was confused by the stand he has taken. A disobeying senior memebr of a party of patriots showing moods of disinterest to wards the party. It is not a question of contradiction but question of faith and belief in political ideology. Speaker was doing his duty impartially and fairly. Then why there was a doubt in Jagjit case by the SC. However thank you very much for your open hearted opinion.
With love and regards
