Manmohan responsible: Sinha
Manmohan responsible: Sinha
The BJP on Monday sharpened its attack on Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh with party leader Yashwant
Sinha holding him “personally responsible” for
“failure” of his government on all important issues,
including excesses against women in Delhi.
“Why pick up one Minister or one Chairman of a
Committee, I hold the Prime Minister personally
responsible for all that is happening in Delhi in terms of
excesses against women and failure on all important
issues,” senior party leader Yashwant Sinha told
reporters here.
He was asked to comment on the alleged role of Law
Minister Ashwani Kumar in the coal allocation case
probe.
“Why blame the Law Minister. The Prime Minister’s
Office intervened. There are e-mails between the PMO
and the CBI,” Mr. Sinha said.
Asked whether the BJP would come together with the
Government for passage of important bills in the
session, the former Finance Minister said, “Come
together with a corrupt and disgusting government
which blames Vajpayeeji and gives a clean chit to the Prime Minister.”
Mr. Sinha said the country was “confronted with a
totally shameless Government. It has no shame left and
it has no use left for Parliamentary practices and
procedures and norms.”
“The way the JPC draft report was made public by none
other than the JPC chairman himself in order to
condemn the NDA regime and hold us guilty is a case
in point that they are playing pure politics. We have
given a notice of breach of privilege against the JPC
Chairman,” he said.
Asked about Union Minister Shashi Tharoor’s tweet
that Opposition was not allowing any debates to take
place, Mr Sinha said, “He is a tweeter and lost his job
earlier because of his tweets. Let him tweet the way he
likes to.”
“The issue is that this Government is single-handedly
responsible for destroying Parliamentary standards and
norms in this country,” he said.
