He held a half-an-hour press point from there to announce his resignation as President and to take large swipes at the government in general and at the Prime Minister in particular. He should simply have restricted himself to announcing that he is leaving and then say what he wanted to say -- only if he forgot that he has been our President for almost nine years -- from another location after his resignation becomes effective tomorrow.
And if he wants to help the country he can always babysit Pravind. In private. Presidents should not go back to partisan politics.

give me a good reason why an ex president should not go back to politics?
ReplyDeleteI wonder why labourites are focusing on the "form" rather on the substance of the declaration...
ReplyDeleteLike most of the Commonwealth countries, we have a Westminster style Parliament. It is not in order for the Head of the State to do party politics, just like the Crown even after retirement;but here the business of politics is a big business. In fact SAJ was attacking his own government from Réduit while he was Prez.Before the the weekly Cabinet meet,the PM consults the President on affairs of the State.That's the forum. If we don't respect standing orders, decorum, then why waste time, money and run elections? why not do like some of the African countries:go for a coup and simply suspend the Constitution?
