Having an non-partisan Judiciary and an impartial Election Commission , is a perfect recipe for a Healthy Democracy . A shining example is the potentially volatile Pakistan , has had some sort of sanity , because its Supreme Court , which has managed to give the people a government not headed by an Army General . On the other hand our other neighbour Burma is still under Dictatorship , thanks to the dismantling of its Judiciary and EC systematically by the Army Generals .The elections conducted by the army had elected Aung Saun Suu Kyi , not once or twice but several times , unfortunately she was thrown behind bars on flimsy excuses by the regime that does not want a civilian government . The biggest threat to a democracy is the lust for power , and any leader who hints at unbridled power and unlimited tenure at the helm , can take decisions that will neutralise the role of the CJ and EC . India has had a bad experience and experimenting with ‘Emergency’ considered a blot on our Democracy . Fortunately the people of India united to shake off ‘Emergency’ and its perpetrators . Almost a decade back social activist ‘Anna Hazare’ caught the nations imagination and unbelievable support of the public , when he started a crusade against the UPA government for trying to tinker with the Constitution . India’s quest for Freedom accelerated after the Quit India Movement and again the unity of the nation , over unconstitutional methods of the East India Company , surprised the English Regime ..Indian Judiciary is in its purest form , thanks to an agile SC and the people have high hopes on the third pillar of the society which has been acting vigilantly and judiciously ..By removing the CJ from the three member committee , that will select or nominate the Central EC is grave mistake and a Himalayan blunder of the Centre (BJP) ..The argument put up by the party leaders at various Press conferences or the public arguments of BJP leaders and supporters is not all convincing . India is a fast developing country , and a buoyant democracy , to sustain it we need constitutionally elected leaders and not a propped up dictator in future . The efforts to dilute the CEC by removing the role of the CJI in its nomination process is a ‘red flag’ , and the nation is not amused ..

Narendra Modi’s nearly two hours reply to the No Confidence Motion , brought by the Opposition (INDIA) , was more about optics , sloganeering and party politics ..The Prime Minister went all out against the Opposition , targeting the Congress Party and the Gandhi Family in particular ..In the last 9 years , Narendra Modi as a speaker at various forum has been exceptional , brilliant outstanding and excellent  ..Like his predecessor from the BJP to the post of PM Atal Behari Vajpayee , the speeches of Narendra Modi had an aura and the nation believed him ..But this seems to have changed and yesterday I had the opportunity to hear almost the entire part , and was greatly disappointed ..My disappointment stems from the belief that the Prime Minister avoided the crux of the discussion ‘Manipur Ethnic Violence’ and spoke more about the forthcoming General Elections ..I was interested to know if the Government had plans to stop the ongoing violence , and if at all the CM should be replaced ..The people of the country are keenly watching , the strategy of containing a Majority versus Minority population fight for survival ..the nation wanted to know why the ethnic confrontation has become a regular conflict in NE states and many more ..My guess is the BJP Government does not have a solution to the ongoing conflict and the local politics is pulling them down ..The Central leadership of the BJP is apprehensive that any solution to the ethnic violence , may boomerang on the party in other adjoining steps ..Narendra Modiji seemed a bit shaken by the conglomerate of opposition named INDIA , and he went hammer and tongs against the same ..Was there a streak of fear , that the upcoming November Elections to the six states including MP and Rajasthan , may see the opposition gaining a foothold in North and Central India ..The debate can go on , and the ruling party with a mammoth majority in the Parliament could have used the opportunity better ..Comparatively on the Day2 of the debate , the reply by Home Minister Amit Sahaji was more lively and the discussion positive ..
