Wrong. The three critical points have only been passed, with conditions, to the Standing Committee for due consideration. The Standing Committee may very well reject these points eventually. Or it may accept those points. The celebration is premature to say the least. If Govt can have it's...

Sure you do. I am guessing that you do not understand the meaning of 'majority'. I can show you the part where he says that all religions can co-exist peacefully in a single 'nation'. We should begin to work in that spirit and in course of time all these angularities of the majority and...

The point that I had made earlier, and which you have missed entirely, is that the majority of minorities didn't exactly choose to stay in Pakistan. They were simply unable, primarily for economic reasons, to move from Pakistan and hence had to have confidence in Jinnah. Anyway. Whether...

The minorities stayed back primarily because they were unable to move to 'Bharat', and probably because of the faith they had in Jinnah. Their staying back doesn't prove that they 'supported' TNT. EDIT: One would imagine that TNT was trashed in 1971, but....well...whatever.

By the way, Iqbal's letter to Times, as referred to by Ms Sirmed is this one: The text is: Source Sorry if it was already posted.

Can't download. Is it the June 21st one? If it is, throw it in trash. Yes, the nth version of it.

Nothing, I will repeat, NOTHING, can be independent of Parliament. Judiciary is partially independent in the sense that any law passed by the Parliament can be examined by Judiciary for its adherence to the Constitution. Our Constitution [...] places the supremacy at the hands of the...

Anna's team has carefully edited out the points that WSJ has raised. May be you should ask why?

Then 10 years latter you would be asking for another independent body to look after Lokpal. Does the buck stop anywhere, anytime or we just keep passing it around.

That is a pretty old draft. The new draft is different. Some key differences are: Comparing Anna’s Lokpal to the Government

Yes, this messenger is a Congress ka chamcha, BJP ka chamcha, Communists ka chamcha, Maoists ka chamcha and sometimes even Pakistan ka chamcha, all depending on which forum one is in, on which topic one is discussing and of course who is listening. Now, how about addressing the message. Ah...

In which parallel universe did you come up with that stat? Never mind, don't bother to answer. In a way it actually explains half the 'look-ma-I'm-on-TV' crowd. Anyway, Congress needs to get it's act together real fast and blaming it on 'external hand' is exactly the opposite of what it...
