Like a large number of Indians, I too had immense respect for Dr Manmohan Singh and felt India would really emerge under the stewardship of his vision. However this hope soon faded away as we Indians came to realize that he would just be a puppet whose reins would be elsewhere. I would not want to delve too much into this as much of bandwidth has already been spent on this.
My view as to why Dr Manmohan Singh should resign from his current position as the PM of the nation is based on the fact that having been the face of the ruling government which is opposing the Jan Lokpal Bill proposed by Anna Hazare and team, it has become a face-off between Anna and Manmohan. People have come to see it as if Manmohan Singh is not against corruption and he is supporting a corrupt government. The real corrupt politicians have taken shelter behind the PM and are using him as a shield. No where in discussion its being said that Laloo Prasad Yadav, Jayalalita, Mayawati or Sharad Pawar are opposing the Jan Lokpal Bill. When in reality they would ensure at any cost that the bill does not pass as then it would mean nailing their own coffin. On the contrary the fight has become one between two honest and respected citizens of the nation.
I think Dr Manmohan Singh should call it a day at his current role and take up role's which involve less of politics and more of intellect which he is gifted with. We need minds like his to steer the nation towards a developed economy which he cannot do under the shadow of higher power and for always being insulted as the silent PM of the nation. It feels bad to hear when people make fun of the gentleman criticizing his silence. He needs to speak up for himself and protect his dignity which he is losing protecting those people who really don't care for him.
