A combative Prime Minister Manmohan Singh threatened to "give up" his public career if there was any truth in the allegations hurled against him by Team Anna.
“I will give up my public career” if there is any truth in the allegations, Singh said while speaking to reporters on board Air India One on his return home from a three-day visit to Myanmar.

Singh said that the allegations should be verified. “Aur agar usmen zara bhi sach nikalta hai to main — I will give up my public career and country can give me any punishment,” he said.

A visibly anguished PM lamented about “words which are being used without reason or rhyme”.
