NDA wants PM's resignation over Pathak Report leak

New Delhi, Aug 7: The BJP-led Opposition today stalled Question Hour in the Lok Sabha, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over the leak of the Justice Pathak Inquiry Report.

Speaker Somnath Chatterjee adjourned the House till 1145 hrs after the NDA members trooped into the well, continuously shouting slogans for more than 15 minutes.

They said the Report was an attempt to save Congress President Sonia Gandhi whose party was named a non-contractual beneficiary in the UN oil-for-food scam in Iraq by the Volcker Committee, while former Foreign Minister Natwar Singh had been made a scapegoat.
