An editorial in The Hindu, New Delhi
Aug 13, 2008
Two issues have come to the fore today: repressed political groupings reaching out for power, and concerns over extreme economic inequalities. Much will depend on how the competing political players respond to these critical issues as a multi-party democratic system takes root. Although the new constitution vests executive powers in the President, it aims, in contrast to the 1998 statute, to balance these powers through an empowered Parliament (People’s Majlis) and by ensuring the independence of key functionaries of a democracy, especially the higher judiciary, the judicial service commission, and the elections commission.
