I wish the Congress had sited the right reasons for election of Meira Kumar as the speaker of Lok Sabha. After all she had served in various embassies around the world based purely on her capabilities as an IFS officer. Or were those appointments too conferred upon her because she is a dalit. Projecting her as a dalit for such a covetted post amounts to perpetuating the retrograde caste system in the country and does not behove a responsible political party like the Congress. It also denigrates Meira's credentials as a capable person and overlooks her vast achivements in life.
