There is certainly a need of continuity in the government because of a couple of really significant mega projects now under execution as well as government’s commitment in war on terror shown by it.

Any person who goes through open heart surgery becomes half the man he used to be before he goes under the knife. There are two options available to the PM. . Either he goes on a three months’medical leave and vests all his powers to any of his cabinet minister or steps down after naming any one from his political party as the new prime minister. The opposition should also not create hurdles and allow the present elected government to complete its stint in office smoothly in the larger interest of the country.
