So the Govt. survives... and how...

This last bit moved me to tears (original news report)
"With the vote going close to the wire, several MPs who are ill were flown or wheeled in from hospital, and others, in jail for crimes such as murder and extortion, were granted temporary release."
Firstly, what a show of commitment by the MPs :) And secondly, wow... these guys actually go to jail for committing murder? That's a bit reassuring, actually.

I didn't know MPs could retain their MP status if they were sentenced. Does the Constitution allow this?

And for some reason, Reuters took the article off of their site..

holy eff... you should know the number of elected politicians who have been charged of committing 20, 30 years ago and they are still not subjected to trials!

God save India!
