Again the President has been given greater powers than necessary in the name of emergency powers, and the centre too has been given greater powers to interfere in the provincial affairs more than necessary.

It is surprising that we have forgotten that lesson as soon after his departure, and are now giving undue powers to the President and the Central Government .
