UN facing 'democracy deficit': Manmohan

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the United Nations was facing "democracy deficit" and called for a "sustained commitment" to democratise its functioning to successfully deal with global challenges -- security, economic and environment -- and expand its Security Council to include countries like India.
"The expansion of the UN Security Council, in the category of both permanent and non-permanent members, and the inclusion of countries like India as permanent members, would be a first step in the process of making the UN a truly representative body," Singh said in his maiden address at the UN General Assembly (UNGA).

I think this is a completely appropriate statement from PM and it is absolutely right.
