Let us feel ashamed of ourselves for the public battering

Keralites think highly about their intelligence and accomplishments. No harm in making claims. You can even claim to have solved the riddles of Ohm, which rishis of ages found it difficult to crack. Still there is no harm in it.

At least we have a Sukumar Azhicode who had done wonders in his works, but others are also making wild claims.

Forget about all these things and consider the public spat by honorable people, the politicians. Veteran leader V.S.Achuthanandan had crossed limits on several occasions. And now Minister K.B.Ganeshkumar has gone overboard against Achuthanandan.

There are other instances of unbecoming behavior in the realm. We must hang our head in shame.

Legislators have privilege for this!!!

On Monday morning what happened at Jammu and Kashmir Assembly seems to be the privilege of the legislators. The Opposition Leader hurled a mike set at the Speaker who himself showered abuses at the Opposition Leader.

There was uproar in the House over the custodial death of a National Conference Worker and the PDP wanted Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to resign. It seems much hulabaloo is in store.

These days in almost all legislatures function sometimes in the form of undertaking physical attacks rather than verbal attacks.

Once, in the Tamil Nadu Assembly the Speaker was manhandled to put another one in his seat. Those who got seated was simply thrown out, physically.

These are the examples that come out starkly as being the signature of the legislatures. And still, all our legislators, be in Parliament or in the State Houses, cry from the roof¬tops about their privileged position!!!

However, in spite of all the drawbacks, can an ombudsman be asked to supervise the work of all the Houses? Who knows the ombudsman himself or herself may be purchased outright.

The other day Anna Hazarehas declared he does not want to become the President of India, as though someone has asked him to please live in Rashtrapati Bhavan. Some mediapersons might have asked him a question about his becoming the Rashtrapati and he says he does not want to become one. Gods Blessings, there would not be a drama in Rahstrapati Bhavan.
