Jethmalani accuses PM of 'shielding corrupt people'

"Manmohan Singh used to be honest but no more now because he is shielding corrupt people," he told Hindi news channel 'Aaj Tak'.

"A person doesn't become honest by merely refusing to be bribed. He has greater responsibilities as Prime Minister... Manmohan Singh should quit; the country would be better off without him as the Prime Minister." Jethmalani added.

On corruption cases under the UPA government, the noted lawyer said, "This is a government of scams. Everyday or every week one sees a new scam."
