New Delhi: Obliquely rejecting the Opposition demand for dismissal of Railway Minister Laloo Prasad, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today (Apr 29, 2005) said there is a need for devising "new guidelines and new standards" on the issue of tainted ministers.

"A vibrant discussion is now taking place about who should be minister, who is a tainted minister. In all these matters ultimately our country has to devise new guidelines, new standards and we all have to work to realise that goal," he said releasing a book "No, My Lord", written by eminent journalist Hari Jaisingh.
