Everyone and anyone has been taking potshots at the Delhi CM for not passing a resolution against NPR/NRC. Now he has done so unequivocally. In many ways, how he has done it is very revelatory.
He has acted as a sound Chief Minister and legislator 1/5

One important political principle is that a Minister/CM must make important policy announcements first only in the legislature,not casually in a speech outside the legislature or a tweet. AK seems to have expressed his views on NPR/NRC after full deliberation& consideration 2/5
.... by faithfully following this rule within the Delhi legislature. Meanwhile AAP MPs, Sanjay Singh & Bhagwant Mann have done their duty fully too by standing up and voting correctly with great speeches within Parliament whenever the subject came up. 3/5
Besides, despite the sweeping AAP majority in Delhi, AK did not make any announcement, he simply did his duty by bringing the resolution to the Assembly and getting it passed like a seasoned legislator and leader. 4/5
I hope those who dashed to the print, visual and social media with all sorts of accusations, analyses and attacks will have the grace to recognise and praise his timing and acumen. Let us show how good we are at admitting our mistakes. 5/5
