Supreme Court Madness
After committing a perjury yesterday, today the two-judge bench of the Supreme Court in India took a self-destructive step.
Please read this IANS report.
'This is not merely violation of our order, but a complete breakdown of the constitutional machinery in the state,' thundered Justice Agrawal.
Yes, the supreme court started it by making a mockery of the Indian constitution.
'If this is the situation, we will have to direct the central government to impose President's rule in the state,' he added firmly.
What happened to the recommendations of Sarkaria Commission? I urge the judges to break the constitution and sack the government. Please do it - it will provide us with a chance to make a new India. The power of ballot is far bigger than the power of your judgments.
How about the Tamil Nadu assembly passing a motion - breaking away from the Indian union, if the central government doesn't protect democratic rights in the state? Clearly the Federal Court is interfering in the democratic process of the state.
'If you make out a case for contempt to court, we will not hesitate in summoning even the chief minister and the chief secretary,' the bench said.
Summon them, put them behind bars. See how people respond to it. As a malayalee, I pledge my support to all Tamils and supporters of democracy. Go Kongus!
There has been a lot of talk about normal life... can this 'supreme court' promise a normal life to all citizens? What does it mean by normal life?
Life can only be normal, when all - ALL citizens of the country - has access to three meals a day, a roof over their heads, access to education, and a meaningful livelihood.
How can be life normal to millions of poor people? Life ain't normal to the poor in India, what the court meant was life to be normal for the Businesses and Affluent/ Middle Class.
How difficult is it to see the hypocrisy in the judgments/ remarks of the Supreme Court Jesters?
I hope someone will stop these idiots before some lunatic Military leader says, enough is enough - and takes over our beloved democracy.
Tomorrow is Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. Let's not forget where we came from. There are young and old alike, who think watching Munnabhai and his Gandhigiri is what patriotism is all about.
Gandhi fought for equality, he fought for respect for all. And here is a court which has no regard for normal life for anyone other than the rich and middle class of India. Above all Gandhi taught us Satyagraha - the power of resistance.
The time is ripe for a revolution.

Supreme Court threatens DMK government with dismissal

New Delhi, Oct 1 (IANS) Furious with the Tamil Nadu government for not complying with its order banning a shutdown, the Supreme Court Monday threatened to have it sacked and initiate contempt of court proceedings against Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and the state chief secretary.
An apex court bench headed by Acting Chief Justice B.N. Agarwal and Justice P. Sathasivam threatened the government with dire consequences after it was informed by the opposition AIADMK that the state was not implementing its Sunday order against the shutdown - called to demand early completion of the Sethusamudram shipping canal.
Making a special mention before the bench, AIIADMK counsel Guru Krishna Kumar said public transport was off the roads despite the bench's unusual order on Sunday, a holiday, to the DMK government to desist from enforcing an illegal shutdown.
Even shops in various towns and cities were closed, Kumar said.
'This is not merely violation of our order, but a complete breakdown of the constitutional machinery in the state,' thundered Justice Agrawal.
'If this is the situation, we will have to direct the central government to impose President's rule in the state,' he added firmly.
'If you make out a case for contempt to court, we will not hesitate in summoning even the chief minister and the chief secretary,' the bench said.
The court said that the DMK was an ally of the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) in New Delhi. But 'if this is the attitude of DMK, the central government should not feel shy of dismissing it'.
The lawyer for the ruling DMK, however, told the Supreme Court that party leaders were on fast and only trade unions could be blamed for the disruption of normal life in the state.
The state's main opposition party AIADMK had approached the court alleging that Sunday's order was not being followed and government buses were not plying across the state.
On Sunday, the bench had ruled against the shutdown called by the DMK following a three-hour hearing of an AIADMK plea.
'This is not merely violation of our order, but a complete breakdown of the constitutional machinery in the state,' thundered Justice Agrawal.
