Affidavits Of Loyalty: 'Bond'ed Labour Gandhis' Style?

Congress MLAs have been made to sign sworn affidavits pledging their allegiance to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. The BJP has called it bonded labour. The Congress, meanwhile, has lashed out at Amitabh Bachchan asking why he is sharing stage with PM on the two-year anniversary of the government when he name figures in the black money probe. Amitabh Bachchan has said he is doing only a short segment and is there at the invitation of the government. Is the Congress trying to duck the attack? What does this 'bond'ed labour mean? Should an MLA be owing allegiance to Gandhis? Are Gandhis above party and above India? Should politicians be owing allegiance only to India? We debate.
