Was this the same promise as the one Vatal Nagaraj made? http://www.hindu.com/2008/05/02/stories/2008050251631000.htm This act protects most Kannada politicians.... Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist that. But it reminds me about the newspaper reporter who wrote in the paper, " Half of the population of this town are idiots." Bowing to popular outrage, he then printed a retraction..."Half of the population of this town are NOT idiots." Deepa.
