THOSE IN FAVOUR –SAY “ŸES ,”.THOSE AGAINST THE MÖTION –SAY, “ NO”.189 IN FAVOUR,17 AGAINST THE MOtION.THE MOTION IS PASSED.August18th 2011
Impeachment of Justice Sumetra Sen of Calcutta High Court India in the House of Lords (Rajaya Sabha)witnessed a delivery of historical eloquence on the part of the accused who spoke so well for more than two hours in this august house without least fright on his face. One recalled the speeches delivered by former Prime Minister of Pakistan Z.A.Bhutto who was assassinated by Gen.Ziaul Haque, always mesmerised the audiences .The Members of Parliament observed pin drop silence. Perhaps all of them internally acknowledged his meticulous arguments. But Hamichun –degre –naste(there is none but I alone)prevailed upon on the pretext that the supremacy of Parliaments needs to be restored. Only exception was Mishra of BSP. Jethmalani was the only speaker who among other things acknowledged his eloquence with rhetoric but warned that the best of eloquence speeches have been the worst of cheats. His observation evoked laughter.
Al though It is no more a secret that the Parliament of India consists of hundreds of M.PS with criminal back ground and all of them voted in favour of the motion for a paltry sum of misappropriation committed by the justice as a receiver. Compare this amount with water gates -their crores and crores of loot by their fellow men.
The judge was morally found guilty .It is condemnable but this parliament’s failure to act and enact laws against their counter parts is amusing me.
Where as a judicial officer is expected to be a role model but what about the supreme Parliamentarians! His impeachment is neither going to reform the judiciary nor likely to improve their integrity as MPs in the eyes of the public. Can they set an example for us by removing the corrupts from their benches. Will the political Parties peep in their blotted convictions?
