Coalgate scam: Twitter reacts to ex-PM Manmohan Singh being summoned as accused

MMS paying for staying PM 2 yrs too long. Shd've quit as Party/NAC/10JP took away his authority. U must have courage to use moral authority

MMS summoned as an accused in coal case while Rahul Gandhi extends his "leave of absence." What shall we call it if not #Motherofallironies

As puppets face the law, those who held the strings must be smiling. Ah, the pleasures and perks of power without accountability! #coalscam

Summons to Manmohan for one case but the political debate pertains to his years as Coal Minister & how Congress altered CBI report on tenure

Wonder if Congress which resolutely undermined Manmohan's authority at the best of times will stand up for him today or hang him out to dry

That Rahul Gandhi is Missing in Action ( rather, Inaction) & MMS will appear in court in Coal Scam says it all about state of Congress.

Manmohan Singh reacts to court summon. Says im upset but also sure that I will be able to clear my name. Says these are facts of life

It was former PM Dr Manmohan Singh who pushed for auctions in coal block allocations. He sought transparency, resisted by BJP-ruled states

#Coalgate-Summoning of fmr PM yet another blot on the Cong. Manmohan Singh paying for Cong's sin. Our stand on Coalgate vindicated again.
