Rahul's opposition to ordinance a 'farce', PM should quit: BJP

He said that the Prime Minister should have put in his papers due to the “disrespect”.



“We wonder why Manmohan Singh has not tendered his resignation in protest against the blatant show of disrespect.  He will be devaluing the institution of the Prime Minister if he stays in the office, putting up with the humiliation,” the BJP national spokesman said.

Earlier, addressing a seminar organised on the occasion of the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, Prasad recalled that the late Premier had “resigned from the post of the Railway Minister, taking moral responsibility for an accident which could not have been blamed on him”.

“Compare that era with today. Our Prime Minister chooses to cling to the post and even holds parleys with the very party vice president whose orchestrated outburst made him an object of ridicule,” he said.
