India does not have an executive president who can take independent decisions. The only time a president came to take an independent decision was when President Radhakrishnan threatened Nehru that would be forced to dismiss his government if he did not dismiss Krishna Menon as Defence Minister after the Chinese invaded in India in 1962. At that time although the two arms of the executive were almost on a collision course, the whole country backed the president. Jawaharlal, whatever his other faults was too much of a democrat not to heed public opinion and he deferred to the President’s dictum. In the present case the country will not pardon the president granting a pardon to a terrorist who declared a war on the nation. If the government is leading up to it under the cloak of the president’s 'religious beliefs' it will be unfortunate. A government which tries to play politics with national security loses its moral authority to govern.<br /><br />In Maru Ram v Union of India, the Supreme Court held that, <i>“…pardon, using this expression in the amplest connotation, ordains fair exercise... Political vendetta or party favouritism cannot but be interlopers in this area. The order which is the product of extraneous or mala fide factors will vitiate the exercise….For example, if the Chief Minister of a State releases every one in the prisons in his State on his birthday or because a son has been born to him, it will be an outrage on the Constitution to let such madness survive.”,</i> In the Kehar Singh v Union of India (Indira Gandhi assassination case) the court held that a presidential judgement could only be questioned based on certain limitations such as <i>“considerations that are arbitrary or <b>‘wholly irrelevant, irrational, discriminatory or mala fide’</b></i>”. If the present President uses her discretionary powers to pardon Afzal Guru she will be open to criticism that she did so based on considerations <b><i>‘wholly irrelevant, irrational, discriminatory or mala fide’</i></b>!VOXINDICAhttp://voxindica.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32951515.post-15385631964855801242010-06-29T03:19:33.694-07:002010-06-29T03:19:33.694-07:00ongress's version of Secularism is impossible ...ongress's version of Secularism is impossible to decipher.

President's adds another feather to the cap on India displaying the country as weak and though we may flatter ourselves with "war on terror", we are actually portraying "soft on terror". On one hand, when we have a stable govt ( even though its the congress), but at least they have the option of taking strong decisions on their own. Since they are not, when we have a bigger coalition govt next time round, god only help this country with "soft" decision makers.... And kanchan, in one of the recent "we the people; show on maoists, in the clising marks you had mentioned about reading a book to give a perspective on maoists, can you please share the name of the book once again.
