Debate is on till today whether India should sign the 123 Agreement with US or not. Even before Dr. Manmohan Singh gave assent to the agreement, the Left backed off their support to UPA.
LK Advani and his party men wouldn’t waste a minute to move a vote of no-confidence even though they aren't capable of running the Central Government. Cricketers, movie stars and illiterate men wearing Dhotis washed by Ujala Liquid Blue would soon be seen scrambling with handkerchiefs to Advani’s residence hoping to secure a seat in the Parliament as though they are catching a seat in an unreserved compartment.
Indian politicians’ hobby is to play the game Sha-Boo-Three at nation’s expense. On the judgment day, all the 552 members of the Lok Sabha will form a (straight) circle and the Speaker Somnath Chatterjee will Announce, "Majority Wins". Then he would go around counting the number of palms facing up and down. Due to Bogus vote alert, there would be a huge brawl in the Parliament and the entire Nation would watch it live on Doordarshan, Sun and Jaya News channels with incorrigible commentary from Arun Lal, Mandira Bedi and Yashpal Sharma. Unfortunately, Navjot Singh Sidhu would not be present to give his catchy lines and quotes as he would also be playing the Sha-Boo-five-hundred-and-fifty-Three game in the Parliament. The voting session would be called off for the day and the Indian Army sent in to disperse the mob. The next day morning in the Parliament, Somnath Chatterjee would stand on the bench and give a lecture on how to play a decent game and then announce, “Minority Wins”. Not realizing the context, the Dalits and other minority groups would start bursting fire crackers on the streets believing the Minorities are going to rule the country for the next five years.
When a TV channel recently approached Chatterjee to know his future plans on supporting BJP or UPA, he said: "Leave it to me, I am still the speaker."
The inconspicuous, dormant and powerless President called Pratibha Patil would finally be put to use to declare an Emergency in the Nation. Meanwhile, President Musharraf would declare Emergency in Pakistan eight seconds before Prathibha Patil declared it in India. After a few days, Mrs. Patil would again exercise her power and appoint LK Advani as the new Prime Minister. The ever-gleaming Advani would drop Pratibha back home in the same chariot he used for his Ratha Yatra. When asked why he replaced his motorcade with chariots, Advani attributed it to exorbitant fuel-prices and was quoted saying,” Chariot is the Gatorade of my Motorcade”.
On the other side of the Globe, the approval from NSG is still pending and the number of sessions before US Congress can approve the deal is less than the number of sessions while Bush is in power. After Obama steps in, there would definitely be some changes and the nuclear deal would get postponed. For some strange reason, am reminded of the school prayer song, ‘Obama.. Obama.. Obama in the high hills’. Instead of Obama, had it been Osama, the song would have at least made some sense because Osama resides somewhere in the Afghan mountains.
Attributing to indefinite deferral of the 123 agreement, Somnath Chatterjee would address the Parliament and say, “Enough of Sha-Boo-Three or Majority Wins. From now on, it is 1-2-3, you go Free!!”
