    In spite of objections from several people and the people of all walks of life (majority people) not to divide Andhra Pradesh, and in spite of agitation, in spite of the rejection of the bill by the concerned Assembly introduction of the Bill in Lok Sabha is unfortunate and opposed to the principles of democratic Governments. No doubt the Parliament has power under the Constitution, but such power shall be exercised for the sake of people and for the benefit of people at large. The properties acquired by a joint family shall be shared among the family members equally. The elder one should not be thrown out with a meagre share. Both the partners should be treated equally and the loss, if any, that may be sustained by one partner shall be recouped suitably. Any division must be in a peaceful and pleasant situation. The division with enmity and tension of insecurity is not good for the both.
