"Now everybody can well understand their (Team Anna's) intentions as they are accusing a person of Dr Singh's stature", Union Parliamentary Affairs and Water Resources Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal said on Team Anna targeting the Prime Minister.
"The world has accepted our Prime Minister's leadership qualities...Even top leaders have said that if the world had 5-7 leaders like him, which I have heard (US President) Barack Obama say, that it would change the world", Bansal told PTI on the sidelines of a function to pay tributes to Nehru on his death anniversary.
"Some people in this country regard themselves above society and the system. I do not want to comment on unsubstantiated averments made by anyone. Out of the population of 120 crore in the country, there are many self-serving people who regard themselves above society and the system", Bansal said here.
The Congress MP from Chandigarh said that some people do not appreciate the system which this country has and failed to distinguish between "mobocracy (mob mentality) and democracy".
"Some believe that by making noise and raising fingers at the Prime Minister and senior politicians, they have their way", the minister asserted.
Bansal said that such people cannot face the electoral battle themselves and their sole agenda is confined to discrediting the government.
Cautioning the public to remain alert and keep away from such people, he said, "there is no dearth of people who want to misuse democracy". (more)
