Well i would like to point out one politician who stands for his principles and decency come what may irrespective of political gains or back-stabbing !
The MDMK leader Vaiko is he.....I dont think i have seen a politician who continues to stay in a coalition government which is not going to rescue him from the clutches of a act like POTA.Why did he stay ? Because he did not join the coalition for his benefits.Had he withdrawn his support ,does it make a good example? Like : "hey you dont do this i will withdraw support !"
Also i quite admired the way he fought the case for him, never to take any special privileges and not to ask for bail until it was that Karunanidhi persuaded him to.
Had it been anyother politician on whom the POTA was slapped when he was in America , he wouldnt return i think <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->
All said i support slapping POTA on Vaiko,,because today Vaiko would only offer "verbal support" for LLTE , tomorrow Mufti Mohd.Sayeed will offer "verbal support" for Hizbul Scumudeen.Not any different from the "moral" support of <!--emo&tupid--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pakee.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pakee.gif' /><!--endemo--> to those terrorists
