While Owaisi asked if any President can actually get a Prime Minister to resign, former Delhi chief minister Kejriwal asked what was the punishment for those who framed others in false cases. The SP supremo hit out at the Centre, citing examples of "dictatorial government" who went out of power despite bringing such laws to safeguard their rule. The Opposition sharpened its attack on Monday soon after Union Home Minister Amit Shah slammed those resisting the bill to sack jailed ministers. Shah asked if a prime minister, chief minister or a minister should be allowed to retain the office after serving prison term in a serious case. BJP's national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla took potshots at the Opposition as he tagged people opposing the bill 'bhrastachar ke yaar' (friends of corruption). "The entire country is welcoming these bills. A handful of opposition parties are saying they are with shamelessness, not morality. They are saying they are with their family, not with propriety and principles in politics... These 'bhrastachar ke yaar' (friends of corruption) are opposing the bills," he charged.
