[1]In a direct impact of controversial CD row, senior Congress leader Abhisek Manu Singhvi resigned as standing committee chairman and Congress spokesperson on Monday.
Sources say that he was forced to quit from both forces as the CD, which allegedly features the senior advocate in sexual acts, went viral on the Internet. Congress asked him to quit to prevent damage to party image, sources also added.
The senior advocate said, he quit only to prevent even the slightest parliamentary disruption.
Recently, Singhvi had lashed out at social networking sites, saying they are indulging in 'sensationalism' despite a court injunction.
