some more antics of Somnath Chatterjee.
India wonât take up the matter with UK; Somnath says he wonât visit London.
UK refuses relief to Somnath Chatterjee
NEW DELHI: Speaker Somnath Chatterjee is winning applause in political circles around the country for standing up to Britain. Chatterjee has decided to call off his trip to the UK because British authorities refused to honour the constitutional dignity of his position.
The attack to the constitutional authority comes by way of complying with the strict rules and regulations of airport security, in place since the 911 attacks in the US and intelligence reports of terrorist threat to Heathrow.
The British authorities are unwilling to allow the speaker of Indian parliament without the normal security drill which all VIPs as well as ordinary travellers follow.
