Or has it? The second issue of discomfort in this episode is the choice of means adopted by the ruling party. By every appearance, the use of the legislature to remove Amarinder Singh from the House is undemocratic. Expulsion of a legislator should be saved for the rarest of rare cases. The Supreme Court has upheld Parliament’s power to expel a member, but also deemed this exercise to be open to judicial review. Is it healthy for legislatures to expose themselves to the possibility of rebuff? But a question, raised during the cash-for-votes expulsions in Lok Sabha, too remains. How far does such an exercise militate against the sovereign will of the people in electing their representatives? The last word on this development is far from said.
