<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The constitution is getting subverted on a daily basis. This stinging indictment against the UPA government should see the Substitute PM Manmohan Singh quit office. If he doesn't do so voluntarily, HE President should ask for his resignation letter. Manmohan cannot stick to the figleaf of his past bureaucratic performance in UNDP or IMF as an international civil servant. He cannot be a party to the denigration of democratic and ethical norms. It is a-dharma, against every tenet of Rajadharma for him to continue to cling to his office as Hon'ble PM.  The word honorable itself is being put to ridicule. Amar Singh of SP has, rightly, called for Manmohan's resignation. Has NDA done so?
Beware, there's no morality in midnight haste

The Supreme Court judgment is most welcome. It is a salutary check on the arbitrary exercise of power of dissolution of legislative assemblies under Article 356, provides an invaluable safeguard to our federal structure and is an affirmation of democratic principles. In a sense it is also an affirmation of constitutional morality and a strong disapproval of the impropriety of midnight dissolution of assemblies in indecent haste. <b>Above all, the judgment vindicates the faith of the common citizen in the independence and courage of our Supreme Court. </b>
