I don't get upset easily, won't resign: PM Manmohan Singh
by Seva Lamberdar Tue Oct 01, 2013 2:10 pm
................................. Singh was asked whether one individual, no matter how senior he may be in the party, should have the space to undermine the decisions taken by the Cabinet and Core Group and whether his authority has been undermined.
"No, I don't feel that way. I honestly feel that if there is an important point of view, any member of the Congress party, any member of my Cabinet is free to raise issues and require reconsideration of issues. I think that's what democracy is about," he replied.
"I don't think we are an authoritarian structure in which one person lays down the line all the way and therefore my humble feeling is that when a point of view has been expressed, we must sit together and understand what is agitating the mind of the person who has raised these issue and that's what we will do," he added.
The Ordinance was approved by the Cabinet on September 24, a day before the Prime Minister left on his US tour. The decision has generated a huge controversy and President Pranab Mukherjee has refused to sign it.
After Gandhi's public outburst, opposition has been saying that the Prime Minister's authority has been undermined and he should resign.
