Nksagar-Sagar news time New Delhi Jun 7,2011
The Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has said that though the police action at Ramdev's protest congregation at Ramlila ground on Sunday morning was unfortunate, there was no other alternative. He asserted that his government is concerned and serious about fighting corruption but maintained that there is no magic wand to do so. Dr. Singh was talking to news persons on the sidelines of a journalism award function in New Delhi on Monday evening. With regard to demands that the Prime Minister should be brought under the purview of Lokpal, Dr. Singh said that everything is before the Joint Drafting Committee and therefore it will not be proper for him to comment on it. In reply to a query on former IT Minister Dayanidhi Maran's alleged involvement in 2G scam, Dr. Singh said that the matter is before the law enforcement agency and appropriate action will be taken.
Meanwhile, the BJP and CPI(M) have criticised the Prime Minister for his statement justifying the police crackdown on Ramdev's supporters.
