Hamirpur: Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal Friday described Prime Minister Manmohan Singh`s press conference as "highly disappointing and shocking", and said his remarks against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi were "shameful".
Talking to reporters here, the BJP leader said that in fact the tenure of Singh as Prime Minister was "disastrous for the nation" as he not only failed to deliver but also diminished the stature of the country`s Prime Minister.
Dhumal said Singh`s comments against Modi were highly shocking and shameful, and asked him to tell the people "where his heart was when innocent Sikhs were massacred in 1984 in the aftermath of the assassination of Indira Gandhi".
The BJP leader said that the evasive reply of the Prime Minister on charges against Himachal Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh proved that the Congress party was not serious about corruption and maintained double standards on this issue.
He asked the Prime Minister to read between the lines and take strong action against Virbhadra Singh for his alleged involvement in several financial irregularities.
