 "Team Anna alleges PM is acting like 'Shikhandi'")
Team Anna on Monday accused the Prime Minister of turning a blind eye to corruption and lawyer Prashant Bhushan said that the Congress was using Manmohan Singh as a shield like ‘Shikhandi’.
“The Congress is using the Prime Minister as a shield like ‘Shikhandi’. They say he is clean, so his cabinet must be clean. Why is the Prime Minister allowing himself to be used like ‘Shikhandi’ in this manner?,” Bhushan said in an interview to CNN-IBN .
RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav defended the Prime Minister and criticised Team Anna for indulging in disrespectful comments.
“PM is not only a PM but a leader and such kind of comments from Prashant Bhushan are disrespectful to a great leader who has a clean record.
‘Shikhandi’ is a character in the Mahabharata, who was used by the Pandavas to kill Bhishma. Knowing that Bhishma would not attack Shikhandi, Arjuna hid behind Shikhandi and attacked Bhishma with a volley of arrows.
