They took oath not in the name God

Oath taking of a parliment member - After wining the national election the parliament members of the winner party take oath before the President. It's the custom of the Parliamentary Democracy.

On 22 May the 19 members of newly elected Indian Parliament members took oath before the President. They are the members of winning coalition party.13 members took oath in the name of God. But the other 6 members while taking oath did not pronounce the name of God.They may be ethicist or believer of God.But I think they did the right. Politics is a game to gain power.Politicians play tricks with the people to gain power.I admire the 6 Indian parliament members who are not at least hypocrite.They did not disgraced the name of God.

You do have to be proud of those that stand in the way of tradition and uphold their beliefs.

Those who followed the tradition they are simply ordinary. But those who broke the tradition has created new example.
