Tweeting political with @prempanicker and @shahpriya

The question: http://twitter.com/prempanicker/status/56231749319008256

A passport, arguably, lets you become a representative of your country; to another country. You are, at some level, an ambassador for your home country when you travel outside it.

Lok Sabha membership lets you represent your state / Union Territory / community, within India. Membership of the Lok Sabha requires that the person must meet all the following requirements:

1. A citizen of India
2. Aged 25 or over,
3. Mentally sound,
4. Should not be bankrupt,
5. If the person have criminal proceedings in courts ,the person has to mention it when they file their affidavit to election commission; and,
6. Must not be criminally convicted

Are you sure that a police verification is not required for a ticket?’

A post & a Twitter response about (Indian, too!) politics…wow, I must be getting older quicker than I thought.
