It was virual war in the parliament. Congress and SP used all their armoury to defeat a lack-luster opposition. Advani instead of concentrating on Nuke deal just sprayed his bullets far and wide. The entire opposition looked silly.
Poor MPs who have cross voted must have done that in the national interest and after listening to their inner voice or "Atma ki Awaz" whatever they call. Fun is, Prime Minister, Amar Singh, Laloo etc. already kew what these "Atma Ki Awaz" are saying to these MPs. That is why they were so confident that they were showing victory signs one day in advance.
When an independent inquiry will be held about the bribes paid and taken during this period ? CBI can not be trusted. The inquiry must be conducted by independent judges not like Laloo's dog Banarjee. The corruption and criminality must be irradicated from political scene in India otherwise as from now India will go down Zimbawbe way. Problem with India is that voters have dog like loyalty for the parties and politicians, voters do not think about India. During this abusive debat in the newspapers all we have seen is violent opposition to each other. This is not how people in rest of the world behave.
Yes, its the best reply given to all the opposition parties.Instead of having stood up for a national cause of the country all the left parties including BJP had some other vested interests in them. This reflected through out in their faces. Congrats PM, Soniaji, and all members of SP and honourable members who voted for UPA. The money drama surely was an act by the left. Whole world knows that too.They (left parties and BJP) can go for a long pilgrimage.
