		Critical voices raised in India and Nepal notwithstanding and political party polemics and anti-India lobby propaganda apart, the hard truth is that the credit for the big break-through to defuse the crisis must go to the Karan Singh mission.
		But, a categorical imperative is a genuine desire to have the Constituent Assembly much before the political parties and their leaders again return to their old ways and differences and people again lose faith in them and the Maoists are left as the only option.

		Despite his many battles with Mahatma Gandhi and the Congress, he was entrusted with the responsibility of drafting the Indian Constitution by the Constituent Assembly after India became independent in 1947.
		Ambedkar’s strategy for the social and economic uplift of the dalits was to struggle through constitutional and political means, and not through reservation for them in educational institutions and government jobs.
		Unlike Ambedkar who had a holistic vision for social, economic and political transformation of the whole of India in general and of the dalits in particular, Kanshi Ram was interested only in pursuing political power as an end in itself, openly mocking the notion of political morality and extolling the virtues of political opportunism.

		During the last Budget session of the session of the Assembly there was a flagrant instance of a Minister of Government confessing to the Assembly that certain expenditure was incurred in a supplementary manner in anticipation of the approval of sanction of the Assembly.
		Therefore, I move that the Constitution should lay down that Parliament should meet at least thrice a year: the budget session which is a long session, a session in the middle of the year, say July or August for two months, and again in the autumn or winter, October or November.
		To summon the legislature merely for the purpose of getting the revenue and then to dismiss it summarily and thus deprive it of all the legitimate opportunities which the law had given it to improve the administration either by question or by legislation was, as I said, a travesty of democracy.
