This post refers to the priority given by many of our leaders to their respective parties before National interest or even what they personally might think is correct.
Referring to the recent row about the appointment of the CBI director: since the term of current director is about to end, the Government following the rules and norms of the present day appointed a new director. However there is a clause in the Lokpal Bill (which has been tabled in the Rajya Sabha but not yet passed) that there would be collegium of the Prime Minister, the Leader of opposition & the Chief Justice of India who'll appoint the CBI director.
But since the bill hasn't been passed yet, the Government used the existing norms and appointed the new director. And this became an issue for the opposition who started objecting over the appointment and demanded that a collegium should be formed first and then the appointment. But what they need to realize is that they first have to allow the Parliament to run, discuss the lokpal bill, take care of the due diligence, pass the bill and then make such a demand if the Government doesn't already follow.
And here it is important to praise Mr. Ram Jethmalani (BJP Rajya Sabha MP & Supreme Court Lawyer) who going again his party lines expressed his own opinion and questioned his party's objection.
There should be more such instances where our leaders express themselves more, express what they feel is right for the Nation irrespective of what their party feels or what might help/not-help their party in the elections.
Politics should be more of a noble work instead of an ambitious job !
