India is known for having many first things! A couple of days back the 15th Lok Sabha proudly presents a united face and unanimously elected Congress nominee Mrs Meira Kumar to the Speaker's chair.
Mrs Kumar becomes the first woman to occupy the respected, yet sometimes controversial, seat.
The move to have a woman Speaker has also been hailed by women MPs irrespective of their political affiliates. At the same time there are many who say Mrs Kumar with her 'cute little voice is not suitable' to occupy the chair. "There are many powerful speakers in the parliament who will silenced her," one friend said.
Do you think the Congress and the Opposition parties are justified in electing Mrs Kumar as the 'first woman Lok Sabha Speaker?' Is this just another political gimmick?
