India now offers reservations for Parliament seats!!!

In an unprecedented move the father of capitalist reforms in India, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced that he is planning to extend the reservation quota concept to the Upper and Lower houses of the Parliament. Mr. Singh substantiated his decision by stating, “What is good for the goose is good for the gander”. HRD Minister Arjun Singh criticized the decision saying that the concept of quotas in the parliament goes against the preamble of the Indian constitution, which states -
“WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:
JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all
FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation”

This monumental decision was hailed by the general public (Ir-respective of caste) of India, who vouched to force their parliamentary representatives to vote for this bill. Some of the avid supporters of this bill, anticipating a strike from the Members of Parliament, have gotten a Supreme Court injunction order that will crush any sort of retaliatory move by the MP’s. There are a number of political pundits who believe that such an injunction order is not very useful, as the absence of politicians would lead to phenomenal decreases in corruption in the country. Mayawati Kumari, the firebrand politician of BSP, is most likely to be elected as the new Prime Minister of India. Ms. Kumari in a press conference today said, “I will try my best to maintain equality in the country and regain the trust of the people of this great country. I also assure all the upper caste people that they will not be discriminated against. As a matter of fact I will institute reservations for the all the upper caste people who now will be known as “Formerly upper caste people.” In spite of numerous protests by the likes of Laloo Prasad Yadav condemning this promise of reservations for “Formerly upper castes” as a political ploy to retain votes, Ms. Mayawati Kumari is expected to stick to her new reservation policies.
