Ratlam: Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) on Sunday demanded to register a case against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for violating the oath of office and secrecy and Congress President Sonia Gandhi for instigating the premier to do so. "An investigation be conducted against Singh and Gandhi for leaking the confidential information related to country's internal security and other sensitive issues and what would be the adverse impact in the long run," BKS General Secretary Prabhakar Kelkar told media here. Maintaining the oath of secrecy is mandatory not only for the Prime Minister, chief ministers and but also other ministers and if they violate it a criminal case should be registered against them and if the Prime Minister himself violates it, then it is most unfortunate for the country. Mentioning the recently published book "The Accidental Prime Minister" -- written by the Prime Minister's former media advisor Sanjay Baru -- Kelkar said this book substantiated his claim. The book revealed Mr Singh's ministerial colleagues also did not pay heed to his instruction, he added.
