I have to maintain the dignity of the office of the Prime Minister, said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the recent attacks on him.
He added that he could not get into a slanging match with political leaders. "It is better, as I said earlier, I keep silent," the Prime Minister said when asked why he was allowing the BJP to set the political agenda.
The lack of cohesive coordination in domestic politics has been a factor in the country not being able to lay the foundation for 9 per cent growth rate, he said.
There must be a genuine feeling that Pakistan is doing all that it can do to deal with terrorism directed against India from Pakistani soil, he said.
The Prime Minister said the trial of those charged with the heinous crime of the Mumbai massacre was a crucial test for Pakistan.
“There is a lot of interest in Iran to do business with India. Of course, there are difficulties due to imposition of sanctions. Subject to that we will explore ways and means to expand our relations,” Singh said.
He said NAM is not meant to be a slap to any country, when asked if Iran’s hosting of the NAM summit was a slap as was being projected by some.

"If the lack of cohesive coordination in domestic politics has been a factor in the country not being able to lay the foundation for 9 per cent growth rate" as our PM says he MUST as an Economist fight it out tooth and nail to make 9% growth a reality instead of swallowing all and sundry that is said in the parliament about him
The economist turned politician has learnt the lessons, showing the
maturity and maintains the dignity of PMO and set aside the primordial
Democratic Institutions with simple innocence.
He owed to lead the country to the destiny of his broad vision with
the bandwagon of statisticians and economists without succumbing to
any political debacle since 1990.
All the world looking at him as an exceptional selection made by Madam
Sonia Gandhiji. Finally with 9 % growth rate where we land up. Please
review the past of Late Sri PV Narasimharaos' Government.
Of course We need such personality to compete with Global scenario.
i do not think dr. m.singh will resign, and why should he? if they bring the vote of no confidence in the present govt. then and then only he has to resign, he is the only non elected priminster in the ruiling party.vote of no confidence is not possible. the cong. will collect the small party votes to remain in power.so,bjp has no other way except to attend the parliament.govt. will win majority votes.bjp is westing the time of parliement and their own in looking for non exicting reasons.jai hind, god save the country.
Dignity of PM office should be kept by punishing the corrupt and not involving in corruption, not by keeping silent.
