Humiliated Opposition

The NDA says that its leaders are being humiliated. "If we are not allowed to raise the issues, what's the point in remaining inside (parliament)." I think they have it backwards. They are not allowing the issues to be raised - since they remain outside the two houses of parliament. Even if they were shouted down earlier, I just saw today on TV the Speaker guarantee a hearing for all issues if the prodigals return and Pranab Mukherjee do the same. Will the rest of the opposition go back - the TDP has.

And a poll by Indian Express seems to suggest that 55% of people feel the NDA boycott is not justified. A poll about which not many details are provided though and a very funny kind of poll - no margin of error, no other issues raised, no details on who did the poll, what methodology was used.
