Speaking to mediapersons after dedicating a slew of projects worth Rs 78 crore in the Abohar sub-division,Sukhbir said: It was imperative for a person like Manmohan Singh,who holds the post of the Prime Minister,to clear nagging doubts in the minds of people regarding his direct,indirect or tacit involvement in the Rs 1.76 lakh-crore scam that shook foundations of economy of the country… The Prime Minister,like Ceasars wife,must be above suspicion. Non-appearance of the PM and then finance minister P Chidambram before the JPC will strengthen the suspicion that the UPA Government does not want truth to be unveiled,he added.
