Know Pratibha Patil

At this website recently launched I think by the BJP. Anybody favored by Sonia Gandhi has to be shady without doubt.

Here are a few articles on Pratibha Patil by Arun Shourie

And this is why the country shouldn’t have Pratibha Patil as the president:

BUT for the strong opposition of the Congress and the Left, India would have had Dr Abdul Kalam as the next President. It would have been a response to the popular demand. And for the first time since Independence, the assertion of the nation’s ethos of pluralism would have been rewarded. Ms Pratibha Patil, adopted by the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA), supported by the Left, is a good person - simple, austere but too loyal to the Congress. Compared to Dr Kalam, she does not have the stature or the sweep that the President of India is expected to have.

If a situation like the Emergency - June 25 was its 32nd anniversary - arises once again, she would sign the proclamation as quickly as the then President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed did at the bidding of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, even before the Cabinet met to take the decision.
