Dilip Chatterjee from Kolkata, (National News Service) 3/3/03: The Governor of Jharkand has defied all Parliamentary and Constitutional norms by inviting JMM supremo Sibu Soren to form the Government in Jharkand.
The new criteria used by the Governor being not who can provide a stable Government, but who can give a better Government. This opens a Pandora's box, which will be difficult to control in the future.

"Human beings have still not been able to form a human society, and have still not learned to move with the spirit of a pilgrim. Although many small groups, motivated by self-interest, work together in particular situations, not even a small fraction of their work is done with a broader social motive. By strict definition, shall we have to declare that each small family unit is a society in itself? If going ahead in mutual adjustment only out of narrow self-interest or momentary self-seeking is called society, then in such a society, no provision can be made for the disabled, the diseased or the helpless, because in most cases nobody can benefit from them in any way... in that case there always remains the possibility of some people getting isolated from the collective. All human beings must attach themselves to others by the common bond of love and march forward hand in hand; then only will I proclaim it a society." |
