The leader of ruling Congress party, Sonia Gandhi, on Wednesday called opposition parties' attacks on the prime minister over an alleged corruption scam "shameful", the strongest backing yet for Manmohan Singh.
Gandhi, who is considered the most powerful politician in India and seen taking all key government decision, said the Congress party always cracked down on corruption when it was discovered. Gandhi's comments is seen putting to rest any speculation of Singh having to resign.
Singh has been called to defend himself with the Supreme Court over his alleged failure to swiftly act on a complaint against his now-sacked telecoms minister. Parliament has also remained shut for the past two weeks over calls by the opposition for a joint parliamenty investigation into the scandal.
