Thomas, chief of India's anti-corruption watchdog, was appointed to the post six months ago by a government committee that included Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. But his tenure was marked by controversy due to his alleged involvement in a corruption case.

With the PM’s image already taking a hit in S-band controversy, the SC ruling has further corroded the shield of ‘Mr Clean’ which Singh has always used to deflect any personal criticism.

“In the last 60 years, it has never happened that an appointment made by the Prime Minister himself has been declared illegal by the Supreme Court. The PM and Sonia Gandhi are morally responsible for it and they should accept this,” Advani told the media here.
