PM should face 'agnipariksha' on 2G: Anna Hazare

Though he has not done anything wrong, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should not shy away from  agnipariksha (test by fire) in the 2G spectrum case, Anna Hazare said here today.

The Prime Minister should face it. His name has come up. He should face the agnipariksha. If he comes out clean, it will only do good. Why should one fear that? Hazare told a press conference here.

Hazare said he cannot say Singh has wronged.

Hazare was responding a question on whether he thought that the Prime Minister should face a probe in the 2G spectrum scam.

"Is Manmohan Singh not clean? But what is the use? He is remote controlled," he said.
