President Abdul kalam returned the bill that was hurriedly prepared in the past few weeks, and passed on the floor of the house recently.. to protect more than 40 Members of parliament that the the ruling coalition government depends upon for staying in government. The new bill passed tries to amend laws to block 'office of profit' disqualifiction of members if they are directly holding positions in companies or organizations other than being the members of the parliament.

The drama troupe called 'congress party' which is the major party in the ruling coalition government has a lot of members who hold positions outside the parliament....what nuts! what can they do inside there...it should be boring.

After the president slapped disqualification notice on a member for holding an office of profit, the issue became bigger with the chief of the congress party Sonia gandhi being pulled into the arena for her office of profit, being Chairperson, National Advisory Council...other than Member, Parliament.

Politicians raised issues that the constitution is not clear about what is an 'office of profit'... and so the law needs to be amended...That was the gimmick to make possibility of amending the bill. During this time, senior drama artiste of the congress party sonia gandhi resigned all her posts including her member of parliament post saying she is "sacrificing" because the issue pained her. And no wonder she stood and won a relection from the same constituency 'Rae Bareli', which went into re-election only because she being its elected member, resigned.

From now on the artiste is to be addressed with a 'ji' in respect of the sacrifice.

Sonia gandhi ji is a sacrificer though... she would not bother whether her resignation, in a stupid attempt would bring in additional costs to conduct relections, spending peoples tax money for proving her single-mindedness. Its not her money, so it doesn't matter.

The president returning the bill, was a little good sign that someone cares whether the bill is legally correct... but still by law the president can only reject the bill once, and now that the parliament has decided to send it back to the president on its second round trip, without making any changes for the questions raised, .. the president has no option but only to accept the bill.

Thanks to all stupidity and the laws of stupidity being amended again and again... india will remain a stupid country. If there's a grave hole in the constitution whereby some people who killed a person jessica lal could not be arrested, the parliament wont bother to ammend it this faster or move and close the bill all this aggressive.. they will do it only if it disturbs their money making business of running a government.

And hurray, big applause for another excellent show-off by the drama troupe, and outstanding performance by chief artiste Sonia Gandhi. Mission impossible 3 can wait for release until our own nail-biting dramas still play center stage.
