Unlike the 2G telecom scam which he blamed on compromises required for running a coalition government, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has accepted responsibility for the Supreme Court striking down the appointment of P J Thomas as chief vigilance commissioner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I respect the judgment of the Supreme Court and I accept my responsibility,&amp;quot; the PM said in Jammu on Friday, admitting that the buck stopped with him since the CVC decision did not relate to coalition compulsions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;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 judgment of the Supreme Court,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Obviously, I think the Supreme Court has pronounced and as a loyal citizen of the country... I accept it. I respect the judgment and I accept my responsibility,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the PM was looking to preempt an aggressive Opposition in Parliament on Monday, he appeared to have succeeded with Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj responding with a tweet that &amp;quot;I appreciate the statement of the Prime Minister owning responsibility for the appointment of CVC which has been quashed by Supreme Court. I think this is enough. Let matters rest at this and we move forward&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congress welcomed the PM&#039;s statement, with party spokesperson Satyavrat Chaturvedi saying it showed his magnanimity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Privately, however, partymen acknowledged that Singh had little option, as there was no room to blame coalition compulsions for a decision that he took with home minister P Chidambaram.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congress continued to paint the issue as one of procedural irregularity that has now been set right by the court. At the meeting of Congress&#039;s Core Committee on Thursday, attended by both the PM and Congress president Sonia Gnadhi, Chidambaram had emphasised that SC had not indicted anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite Swaraj looking to close the chapter, the issue may not peter out with other BJP leaders insisting that the PM needs to explain more. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said the PM had to answer several questions on Thomas&#039;s appointment. &amp;quot;Prime Minister ought to explain whether he was misled or he misled himself,&amp;quot; Jaitley said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Lok Sabha, deputy leader of the party Gopinath Munde and former finance minister Yashwant Sinha persisted with the hard line. &amp;quot;The only authority he claimed to have was moral authority. Now that is gone, too. He has no alibis, and no place to go,&amp;quot; Sinha said a couple of hours before Swaraj came out with her conciliatory response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BJP sources said the party may not be satisfied with a few sentences owning up moral responsibility and would insist on a detailed explanation on why the government decided on Thomas despite the former bureaucrat facing a chargesheet in a corruption case and also being involved in telecom issues as a former secretary of the department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Opposition, including Left, demanding the PM make a statement in Parliament, Singh indicated he might do so. &amp;quot;I should speak first in Parliament. I have not made up my mind. But the issue is important. It is necessary to ensure that such things do not happen again,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite Swaraj&#039;s tweet, government will have to keep its fingers crossed. Apart from doubts whether the BJP benches in the two Houses on Monday will be as conciliatory as Swaraj, it has to contend with Left. Readying themselves to square off with Congress in the battlegrounds of West Bengal and Kerala, Left MPs demanded clarifications in Lok Sabha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will like to pin down the government and this, in turn, may create pressure on the BJP not to be statesmanlike. &lt;br /&gt;

	&#039;description&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Unlike the 2G telecom scam which he blamed on compromises required for running a coalition government, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has accepted responsibility for the Supreme Court striking down the appointment of P J Thomas as chief vigilance commissioner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I respect the judgment of the Supreme Court and I accept my responsibility,&amp;quot; the PM said in Jammu on Friday, admitting that the buck stopped with him since the CVC decision did not relate to coalition compulsions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;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 judgment of the Supreme Court,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Obviously, I think the Supreme Court has pronounced and as a loyal citizen of the country... I accept it. I respect the judgment and I accept my responsibility,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the PM was looking to preempt an aggressive Opposition in Parliament on Monday, he appeared to have succeeded with Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj responding with a tweet that &amp;quot;I appreciate the statement of the Prime Minister owning responsibility for the appointment of CVC which has been quashed by Supreme Court. I think this is enough. Let matters rest at this and we move forward&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congress welcomed the PM&#039;s statement, with party spokesperson Satyavrat Chaturvedi saying it showed his magnanimity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Privately, however, partymen acknowledged that Singh had little option, as there was no room to blame coalition compulsions for a decision that he took with home minister P Chidambaram.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congress continued to paint the issue as one of procedural irregularity that has now been set right by the court. At the meeting of Congress&#039;s Core Committee on Thursday, attended by both the PM and Congress president Sonia Gnadhi, Chidambaram had emphasised that SC had not indicted anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite Swaraj looking to close the chapter, the issue may not peter out with other BJP leaders insisting that the PM needs to explain more. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said the PM had to answer several questions on Thomas&#039;s appointment. &amp;quot;Prime Minister ought to explain whether he was misled or he misled himself,&amp;quot; Jaitley said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Lok Sabha, deputy leader of the party Gopinath Munde and former finance minister Yashwant Sinha persisted with the hard line. &amp;quot;The only authority he claimed to have was moral authority. Now that is gone, too. He has no alibis, and no place to go,&amp;quot; Sinha said a couple of hours before Swaraj came out with her conciliatory response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BJP sources said the party may not be satisfied with a few sentences owning up moral responsibility and would insist on a detailed explanation on why the government decided on Thomas despite the former bureaucrat facing a chargesheet in a corruption case and also being involved in telecom issues as a former secretary of the department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Opposition, including Left, demanding the PM make a statement in Parliament, Singh indicated he might do so. &amp;quot;I should speak first in Parliament. I have not made up my mind. But the issue is important. It is necessary to ensure that such things do not happen again,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite Swaraj&#039;s tweet, government will have to keep its fingers crossed. Apart from doubts whether the BJP benches in the two Houses on Monday will be as conciliatory as Swaraj, it has to contend with Left. Readying themselves to square off with Congress in the battlegrounds of West Bengal and Kerala, Left MPs demanded clarifications in Lok Sabha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will like to pin down the government and this, in turn, may create pressure on the BJP not to be statesmanlike. &lt;br /&gt;

Unlike the 2G telecom scam which he blamed on compromises required for running a coalition government, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has accepted responsibility for the Supreme Court striking down the appointment of P J Thomas as chief vigilance commissioner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I respect the judgment of the Supreme Court and I accept my responsibility,&amp;quot; the PM said in Jammu on Friday, admitting that the buck stopped with him since the CVC decision did not relate to coalition compulsions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;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 judgment of the Supreme Court,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Obviously, I think the Supreme Court has pronounced and as a loyal citizen of the country... I accept it. I respect the judgment and I accept my responsibility,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the PM was looking to preempt an aggressive Opposition in Parliament on Monday, he appeared to have succeeded with Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj responding with a tweet that &amp;quot;I appreciate the statement of the Prime Minister owning responsibility for the appointment of CVC which has been quashed by Supreme Court. I think this is enough. Let matters rest at this and we move forward&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congress welcomed the PM&#039;s statement, with party spokesperson Satyavrat Chaturvedi saying it showed his magnanimity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Privately, however, partymen acknowledged that Singh had little option, as there was no room to blame coalition compulsions for a decision that he took with home minister P Chidambaram.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congress continued to paint the issue as one of procedural irregularity that has now been set right by the court. At the meeting of Congress&#039;s Core Committee on Thursday, attended by both the PM and Congress president Sonia Gnadhi, Chidambaram had emphasised that SC had not indicted anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite Swaraj looking to close the chapter, the issue may not peter out with other BJP leaders insisting that the PM needs to explain more. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said the PM had to answer several questions on Thomas&#039;s appointment. &amp;quot;Prime Minister ought to explain whether he was misled or he misled himself,&amp;quot; Jaitley said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Lok Sabha, deputy leader of the party Gopinath Munde and former finance minister Yashwant Sinha persisted with the hard line. &amp;quot;The only authority he claimed to have was moral authority. Now that is gone, too. He has no alibis, and no place to go,&amp;quot; Sinha said a couple of hours before Swaraj came out with her conciliatory response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BJP sources said the party may not be satisfied with a few sentences owning up moral responsibility and would insist on a detailed explanation on why the government decided on Thomas despite the former bureaucrat facing a chargesheet in a corruption case and also being involved in telecom issues as a former secretary of the department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Opposition, including Left, demanding the PM make a statement in Parliament, Singh indicated he might do so. &amp;quot;I should speak first in Parliament. I have not made up my mind. But the issue is important. It is necessary to ensure that such things do not happen again,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite Swaraj&#039;s tweet, government will have to keep its fingers crossed. Apart from doubts whether the BJP benches in the two Houses on Monday will be as conciliatory as Swaraj, it has to contend with Left. Readying themselves to square off with Congress in the battlegrounds of West Bengal and Kerala, Left MPs demanded clarifications in Lok Sabha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They will like to pin down the government and this, in turn, may create pressure on the BJP not to be statesmanlike. &lt;br /&gt;

I'm responsible for CVC choice: Manmohan Singh

Unlike the 2G telecom scam which he blamed on compromises required for running a coalition government, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has accepted responsibility for the Supreme Court striking down the appointment of P J Thomas as chief vigilance commissioner. "I respect the judgment of the Supreme Court and I accept my responsibility," the PM said in Jammu on Friday, admitting that the buck stopped with him since the CVC decision 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 judgment of the Supreme Court," he said. "Obviously, I think the Supreme Court has pronounced and as a loyal citizen of the country... I accept it. I respect the judgment and I accept my responsibility," he added. If the PM was looking to preempt an aggressive Opposition in Parliament on Monday, he appeared to have succeeded with Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj responding with a tweet that "I appreciate the statement of the Prime Minister owning responsibility for the appointment of CVC which has been quashed by Supreme Court. I think this is enough. Let matters rest at this and we move forward". Congress welcomed the PM's statement, with party spokesperson Satyavrat Chaturvedi saying it showed his magnanimity. Privately, however, partymen acknowledged that Singh had little option, as there was no room to blame coalition compulsions for a decision that he took with home minister P Chidambaram. Congress continued to paint the issue as one of procedural irregularity that has now been set right by the court. At the meeting of Congress's Core Committee on Thursday, attended by both the PM and Congress president Sonia Gnadhi, Chidambaram had emphasised that SC had not indicted anyone. Despite Swaraj looking to close the chapter, the issue may not peter out with other BJP leaders insisting that the PM needs to explain more. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said the PM had to answer several questions on Thomas's appointment. "Prime Minister ought to explain whether he was misled or he misled himself," Jaitley said. In the Lok Sabha, deputy leader of the party Gopinath Munde and former finance minister Yashwant Sinha persisted with the hard line. "The only authority he claimed to have was moral authority. Now that is gone, too. He has no alibis, and no place to go," Sinha said a couple of hours before Swaraj came out with her conciliatory response. BJP sources said the party may not be satisfied with a few sentences owning up moral responsibility and would insist on a detailed explanation on why the government decided on Thomas despite the former bureaucrat facing a chargesheet in a corruption case and also being involved in telecom issues as a former secretary of the department. With the Opposition, including Left, demanding the PM make a statement in Parliament, Singh indicated he might do so. "I should speak first in Parliament. I have not made up my mind. But the issue is important. It is necessary to ensure that such things do not happen again," he said. Despite Swaraj's tweet, government will have to keep its fingers crossed. Apart from doubts whether the BJP benches in the two Houses on Monday will be as conciliatory as Swaraj, it has to contend with Left. Readying themselves to square off with Congress in the battlegrounds of West Bengal and Kerala, Left MPs demanded clarifications in Lok Sabha. They will like to pin down the government and this, in turn, may create pressure on the BJP not to be statesmanlike.
