  1. Parliament is where representatives of people gather as legislators on trust to transact everything in good spirit in the interest of people. Therefore, the parliament belongs to people, and it is not a place conquered by MPs for the conduct at their whims and fancies. Similarly parliament is not a place for them NOT TO ACT on anything that the people want them to do. They are intended to act only on the trusted lines. People as a whole, outside, want the JanLokpal bill. Therefore, it is not correct for Ms Roy, or anyone else, to say on lines of her own perception. Anna Hazare is expressing only what people have to say and what people are pressing for to happen in Parliament and as such people team Anna,in that context is supreme over Parliament. INDIA IS REPUBLIC OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE!
