Wikileaks impact: Right and Left want govt to go

New Delhi: Armed with the Wikileaks expose about 2008 trust vote, the Opposition today closed ranks in demanding the immediate resignation of the government, contending that it has lost moral right to continue as the country’s democracy has been “maligned”.
NDA and Left along with other Opposition parties like Samajwadi Party, TDP and JD(S), which disrupted Parliament over the issue, launched a frontal attack on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over the charge that MPs were bought to save the UPA-I government.
“We would like the Prime Minister to come to the House and announce that he has decided to resign in the light of new revelations,” NDA’s Working Chairman L K Advani said addressing a press conference along with leaders of allies.
The senior BJP leader ruled out moving a no-confidence motion against the government although he felt “the people are no longer with this government”.
