Now that we have appointed a new president and have made scathing remarks on the BJP's allegations, it is time to review the entire exercise. Yes, we are happy to have a woman president.
Has Mrs Patil got the stature to expect people to respect her? Well we are not sure. The chair of the president is to be respected. Does it mean that the personality of the person is irrelevant? Are we not supposed to select a person of national eminence to this position?
Window dressing Mrs Patil to the position by the Congress and its loyal politicians, does not hide the fact that we have a president who has many tin cans attached to her. These will rattle when she moves, and we will have to suffer the noise in disgust.
