Modi Mania
Your edit, Modi Mania (DNA,July 25), is a reasoned analysis of the issues involved in the case of US visa for the CM of Gujarat and the letter that was written to the President of USA by some members of our parliament. India has adopted a Constitution which guarantees liberty, equality and fraternity to every citizen. The Constitution provides for an elected parliament to legislate, a Supreme Court to review legislation and guarantee the rights of every citizen. Every citizen has a right to appeal to the Supreme Court to protect his rights. The Supreme Court has dealt with the cases of murder and arson in the 2002 Godhra case and some have been punished. No court has indicted the CM of Gujarat. In spite of it, the US administration, in its wisdom, has denied a visa for the CM. However, this did not prevent Narendra Modi in giving good governance to the people of Gujarat, and get elected with overwhelming support from the voters three times, and now there is a clamour for his model of development all over India. It is demeaning that some members of the parliament have written to the US President to continue his policy of denial of visa to the CM. That also means that they do not have faith in the Indian Parliament, the Indian Judiciary and the Indian Constitution. The least they should do is to resign their seats. Their act is also the contempt of the parliament and the Supreme Court. They deserve to be punished for demeaning India and the Indian Constitutional institutions.
