8226; The unanimity with which our parliamentarians have joined together to sort out the issue of office of profit certainly shows that there is something more than meets the eye 8216;When office is profit, profit is office8217;, March 26. Why are they clamouring for posts which pay them a pittance, on a 8216;sitting by sitting8217; basis? India has a population of a billion. Don8217;t we have enough professionals to head these organisations, councils and committees?

8226; Madam Sonia, Our Lady of Perpetual Renunciation, has a forgiving nature8212;having forgiven Quattrrochi over the Bofors scam; having rehabilitated Ajit Jogi after he was caught red handed trying to bribe and buy newly elected lawmakers after having lost elections; and having accommodated several accused in financial scams and murders as ministers in her government.

8226; Sudheendra Kulkarni does not mention why Atal Behari Vajpayee who, he says, is endowed with 8216;8216;sixth sense8217;8217; in politics, could not prevent the NDA government8217;s defeat 8216;Enjoyer of an office of super-profit8217;, March 26. Coming to the resignation issue of Sonia, it was comical to see the chest-beating people in front of her house screaming their throats off. Sonia is believed to have consulted only her son and daughter, who are still wet behind their ears in politics, before submitting her resignation, which is an insult to other leaders in the Congress.

8226; Apart from a shameless display of sycophancy, Sonia Gandhi8217;s resignation has resulted in a bizarre profanation of noble terms like 8216;8216;sacrifice8217;8217;, 8216;8216;inner voice8217;8217;, 8216;8216;political morality8217;8217;, 8216;8216;martyrdom8217;8217; etc. by those of our political class who hardly have moral scruples. Far from the inner voice of her conscience, Gandhi8217;s resignation is no more than a calculated strategy to suit her personal and the party8217;s convenience and interests.

8226; Sometime back when our 8216;8216;honourable8217;8217; MPs were caught on camera accepting money for asking questions sometimes for not asking! in the Lok Sabha, a well-rehearsed drama of appointing a committee, a report and their dismissal from the House was efficiently enacted to cheat the people. Why was the Income Tax Department not asked to investigate their financial affairs of the last 10 years? Why was there no stipulation that these MPs cannot enter the Lok Sabha in their lifetime?
