Former PM Manmohan Singh summoned as accused in coal scam: Accountable for signing files?

Former prime minister Manmohan Singh was summoned by a court today as an accused in a case linked to the coal scam that saw mining rights being assigned without transparency to private firms. Dr Singh, who was prime minister for 10 years till his Congress party lost power last year, is being investigated for criminal conspiracy and breach of trust. He told NDTV he is open to legal scrutiny. The Congress today said it would put its entire might behind the former prime minister even as the BJP says Dr Singh is paying for the sins of the Congress. We ask whether an ex-prime minister can be made criminally culpable for files signed.
