With Parliament being stalled by the opposition demanding resignations of Union Minister Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh chief ministers Vasundhara Raje and Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Yadav said their resignation would not prove their involvement in the scams and that they can come back, if cleared in probe.
"I am surprised as to why the BJP government is not following the example of their own L K Advani who resigned, and I too, when our names appeared in Hawala scandal.
He said when the UPA was in power, the opposition had united to demand resignations of its tainted ministers and normal work resumed in Parliament only after they quit.
"The same precedent should be followed in the case of the present Union minister and chief ministers whose names have appeared in one or the other case and are being discussed daily in the media," he said.
