Remove all "tainted" ministers: BJP
|
Soren's continuance untenable, says Left
|
NEW DELHI
: Giving notice of mounting an offensive against the Government following the conviction of Union Coal Minster Shibu Soren, the Opposition BJP on Tuesday demanded that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh remove all ``tainted'' ministers, while Left allies said it would be untenable for the JMM leader to continue in office.
The Prime Minister should explain in Parliament how he ``misused his prerogative by inducting a criminal as minister," BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley told reporters here.
"When we raised the issue of tainted ministers in the Union Cabinet in 2004, we were told that it was the Prime Minister's prerogative to choose Ministers," Mr. Jaitley said adding that ``the country should realise that Prime Minister has no prerogative to induct criminals in his Cabinet.''
Major Left parties said it would be untenable for Soren to continue in government.
