Should Manmohan Singh resign?
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been criticised by the Supreme Court over why he failed to probe what could potentially emerge as the country’s biggest corruption scam. The telecoms scandal is the biggest challenge to Singh, 78, since he became prime minister in 2004, and how the next few days unfold will be key to his political survival.
Telecoms Minister Andimuthu Raja was sacked last week after months of pressure from the opposition and Indian media.
The Supreme Court publicly criticised Singh for “alleged inaction” in taking 16 months to decide if Raja should be charged and investigated, a blow to the image of a prime minister seen as one of the country’s most honest politicians.
Attorney General G.E. Vahanvati will defend the prime minister in person at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, and he is expected to say Singh followed correct procedure.
The court cannot prosecute the prime minister but could say he failed to investigate Raja. Any suggestion that Singh ignored a case for prosecution would deal a severe blow to his reputation and call his leadership into question.

The Wall
Anna’s central issue will immediately resonate with all of us who are exposed to corruption across all levels of the Government. The only reason why his rally has really not boiled over like in the Middle East, is only because of the nonchalance of the public at large – mostly the urban class (like yours truly) which is too lazy to get out of its armchair and rally around this bold man who is highlighting this issue to all us repeatedly. My guess is, while its not really resulting in a mass uprising now, this could only be a matter of time. It is just this that the Government should realize. For, unlike in the Middle East, where there were other measures used to quell such uprisings, in India, given our democratic structure, a mass uprising that has gained critical mass, can quickly deteriorate into civil unrest and civil war. That would be a great loss most of all to members of the Government. Hope they realize this before its too late.
