Ignore positive suggestions - UPA Style of governance

President has returned the office-of-profit bill to parliament for reconsideration. While returning the billPresident has made positive suggestions:
a) Parliament must draft comprehensive criteria that are fair and reasonable and can be universally applied.
b)There should be no adhoc approach in judging an office of profit. THe bill should be based on a proper and settled interpretation of office of profit as stated in Article 112 and other constitutional provisions.

President is also worried about propriety of applying law with retrospective effect.

President's action suggests that he has seen into the evil designs of politicians to make a law to benefit themselves. The government move was unethical.

Much more unethical is the stand of the government to sent back the bill to president in its original form. Any progressive government will re-consider the suggestions made and concerns expressed by the president. But being progressove is only a printed letter 'P' in UPA.
