Dr. Heptulla:
You are writing to prove your importance. I know India's Constitution fairly well, as much as a Citizen should know and certainly better than the present President of India. All said and done it is the best written document even though Ambedkar disowned it.
If there are flaws in it, instead of giving your routine ruling,you, as the Dy. Chairperson, should have given a speaking ruling emphasising the need to change that particular Article (which once again you have not quoted).
I know change in Constitution requires 2/3rd voting. In coalition politics, Parliamentarians can vote cutting across the party lines. And here is the right time to bring about the change in that faulty provision which says the Parliament cannot ratify, rectify, change the bureaucratic bungling.
Therefore, take an initiative and emerge a leader.
Speaker Somnath Chatterjee is wrong because instead of giving a lead,this senior politician with a legal background is expressing his helplessness. Instead of guiding the nation, he is throwing up his hands and you are defending him whereas your party's V.K.Malhotra is advising Communists to bite rather than bark. Bringing down a Govt. at this stage is NOT the priority, but defeating the sell-out to US is.
Let us come back to the topic proper. The N-deal with USA or 123 agreement should be rejected in nation's interest, in humanity's interest. Do not for a minute divert from this main point.

Dr Rebello
I don't think that I am bound to reply to your email but as you are interested in this subject I think I will explain it to you there are a number of countries in their constitution it is mentioned that every agreement or treaty signed by the Govt has to be rectified by the their parliament it is not so in our constitution and the framers of the constitution during the discussion in the constituent assembly did not consider necessary to have this provision and till our constitution is amended and a new clause is added this provision is not there and under the present provision I gave my ruling I wish you spend some time andread the constitution. To amend the constitution you need two third majority which no party or coalition has that majority so now nothing can be done. When I said emotion I meant how ever I or you fell we have to go by the constitution and the rules for you information I had moved a private members bill to amend the and include this provision but the bill did come for discussion, in any case private members bill do not get passed as they will never have the required no of votes. I am happy that you are interested in the working of our parliament and the system we follow in our country you may read the debates of the constituent assembly it will help you to understand you better the various provisions.

Dr. Najma Heptulla,
MP former Dy. Chairperson of Rajya Sabha, New Delhi
Dear Dr. Najma Heptulla:
1..Thank you for your comments below.
2..However, you have NOT said under which article our Constitution saysthat the agreements signed "unilaterally" by pliable persons like Manmohan Singh cannot be ratified or rejected by the "supreme" parliament of "We, thePeople".
3.. If the Parliament is NOT supreme then logically some babus like Manmohan Singh can sell/destroy the country. Then it means we do not have a democracy.
4.. If US can cancel the signed 123 agreement and we cannot cancel, ratify or reject, then it is arbitrary and hence untenable in law. Arbitrariness leads to emergency and dictatorship.
5.. For the same reason your ruling is NOT proper and if Somnathda is quoting that ruling to justify his inaction or subvert nation's interest then I am sorry, I do NOT agree with you.
6.. It is NOT the question of emotions or ideologies here. That is howpersons like you, who belong to political parties and bound by whips andin the habit of agreeing with the "Leader" (dealer) think.
7.. I am a fiercely independent statesman. I think how our "decisions"will affect the future of humanity. N-deal agreement with the known terrorist will lead to holocaust of the worst kind once India is pocketed in the nuclear net.
8.. I want you to re-think on this rather than tell me our constitution allows the prime minister to sell the nation's interest, while theParliamentarians of the country stand mutely. If indeed such a provision exists in our constitution, then I am afraid we need to change that provision rather thango by your illogical ruling as the Dy. Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha. Now I suppose you will understand why our Constitution says that the Vice President and the President of India should be above party politics.
Notwithstanding our disagreements,
my best wishes,
Dr. Leo Rebello
World Peace Envoy

I would like u to read the constitution of India before commenting on the working of parliament our costitution dose not give the right to our parliament to Retify any treaty or agreement govt. Signed hence it cannot regect also I gave a ruling on this subject after Pranab Mukarjee signed Marakash agreement and came to rajya sabha we work under some rules within the framework of the constitution I hope you understand emotions and ideologies have no meaning when giving rulings and that is what Somnath Dada did.

To Mr. Somnath Chatterjee,
Speaker, Lok Sabha,
Mr. George Fernandes, former Defense Minister, New Delhi
and other Indian leaders and chiefs of main political parties.
Dear Mr. Somnath Chatterjee:
We respected you so far for your erudition, dedication, thinking of nation first. But after reading your quote in today's papers "Parliament has no competence to decide on an agreement signed with a foreign country", we wonder whether it is the same 'Somnathda' or some senile person talking. How can communists fall so much and why? At this rate you will take thenation down and We, the People, will NOT allow you to do it. Please read the following and recover from your insanity.
Dear Mr. George Fernandes:
Your barb "The Prime Minister has betrayed the nation by continuous bluffing... and if it were China, they would have settled it with one bullet in his head" takes the cake. Read below what a learned American has to say. George, please ensure that this N-deal does not come through. Get the sick man out from the PM's chair if he does not listen. Incidentally, I get fresh news that to prevent preplanned attack on Iran, the "United States Military Flag Officers have placed the alleged Vice President Richard Cheney under arrest". Now the noose should tighten around the neck of George Bush Jr.
Down with N-Deal with USA.
Best wishes
Dr. Leo Rebello

Dear Leo:
I am very glad that you liked my recent article on How Presumed Terrorists React to US Belligerent Policies. I think you were very wise in circulating this article to all those on your mailing list, especially to top political Indian leaders.
The US goal is to have wars constantly going on around the world, one after another and even simultaneously. The method used is to create fear in government officials to the point of paranoia. Once this is achieved, the US will be able to bring to the various heads an leaders of governments under its full control. Let us keep in mind that the US is a great capitalist country that harbors the most lucrative business inthe entire world. This is the shameful and satanic weapons industry.
While the US has been the most vocal in the world against North Koreaand Iran about the possibility of having a nuclear bomb in the future, this emerged most dangerous nation on earth proceeds to make nuclear deals with Pakistan and India. This would give the US the opportunity to see a nuclear holocaust sooner or later developing in Central Asia.
How can a nuclear holocaust develop? It's simple. You have to furnish nations within reach of each other, if possible, with nuclear weaponsso that they could use them when the time arrives!
This is very easy to see, realize and understand if we were to havemerely one ounce of common sense.
Moreover, those Indian political leaders that are accepting the notion of a nuclear deal with the USA need to have their assets and financialresources thoroughly examined. Only God knows how much money by way ofbribery they may be receiving from American sources to be fully cooperative in this outrageous, demonic, and disastrous venture! At this stage of history, every country needs to have politicians and leaders in particular who firmly believe that the first gigantic and genuine step to a permanent peace would start with the total abolition of all nuclear weapons followed afterwards by an international program ofdisarmament and arms control.
Keep up the good work. The tremendous good you are doing for India, the continent of Asia and the whole world, as a matter of fact, cannot betaken lightly.

Very good article Charles.... I am circulating it, as usual, to create the desired awareness. According to me the ONLY terrorist country in the world is USA. Sooner the politicians of the world realise it, and distance from that decadent country, the better it will be for the entire world.
But, as you have noticed with concern, our Govt. is insisting on signing a N-deal with it, which is not good for India. India, as you and I agree,should become the Leader of the World, but if it goes ahead with N-deal, it will become a slave of US. Hope better counsel prevails and the Indian Parliamentarians reject the unilateral agreement purpotedly signed by the Prime Minister of India without the nation's consent.
For being a friend of India, I recommend your name for Padma Bhushan for international understanding while forwarding this letter to VVIPs mentioned in the CC and BCC.
I hope they listen to the voice of sanity and recover early to emergewinner by unsigning N-deal with USA.
With warm regards, Leo
