“I respect the judgment of the Supreme Court and I accept my responsibility,” the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, responded on Friday, a day after the apex court struck down the controversial appointment of Mr P J Thomas as the Central Vigilance Commissioner. “It is necessary to ensure that such things do not happen again,” Dr Singh said at a press conference on being asked about his future course of action on the issue. The Prime Minister, who has been targeted by the Opposition, also said this issue did not relate to coalition compulsions.
“Well, I think what we see, this is not a question which relates to the compulsions of the coalition. As for the rest, I have already said that I respect the judgement of the Supreme Court,” he said.
