Indian political leaders and bureaucrat

[Guest]

I am not sure I understand the issue here. You have bunch of MPs who have accepted money on camera (entrapment is more like it) for asking questions in parliament. FOR ASKING QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT. As though it amounts any useful service. How can this be corruption? What is the value of the service rendered? If someone offers an MP Rs 1 lakh for breathing for one day, does that warrant expulsion? There are hardcore criminals who are MPs and MLAs. These SOBs are punishing the least criminal activity while sweeping selling of india's foreign policy under a rug (it has been referred to a judicial commitee, but it is the samething).

That these MP cabal can get away with this kind of behavior is disgusting and a worser insult to democracy. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Agencies / New Delhi

The Lok Sabha has expelled 10 MPs who were caught on camera accepting bribes for asking questions in Parliament.

The motion, moved by Leader of the House Pranab Mukherjee, was adopted after the BJP and its allies walked out of the Lok Sabha.

Leader of the Opposition LK Advani led the walkout, saying he could not associate himself with the expulsion which was disproportionate to their offence.

The members who were expelled include Annasahed M K Patil, Y G Mahajan, Suresh Chandel, Pradeep Gandhi and Chandra Pratap Singh - all from the BJP.

BSP members Narendra Kumar Kushwaha, Lal Chandra Kol and Rajaram Pal, RJD MP Manoj Kumar and Ramsevak Singh of the Congress have also been expelled.

In the Rajya Sabha too, BJP MP Chhattrapal Singh Lodha was expelled after an inquiry committee found his conduct derogatory to the dignity of the House.

Speaking on the issue, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that it was the duty of MPs to ensure that Parliament's image is not tarnished.
