QUOTE: their words:
Prashant Bhushan on May 29 (2012) said the PM was like 'Shikhandi' and was being used by Congress as a shield. "The Congress is using the PM as a shield like 'Shikhandi'. They say he is clean, so his Cabinet must be clean. Why is the PM allowing himself to be used like 'Shikhandi' in this manner," he said.
BACKGROUND
Shikhandi was a character from the epic Mahabharata. Shikhandi was impotent and hence Arjun hid behind Shikhandi, due to which Bhishma couldn't attack Arjun (because to attack him , he would have to Shikhandi kill first and attacking impotent was not considered bravery). In this was Arjun used Shikhandi as his shield and finally fatally attacked Bhishma.
|IF we go by the role of SHIKANDI in Mahabharat then of course our PM,who is considered a clean and intelligent figure in politics is really used by congress as a shield. Moreover PM is also letting congress use him as shield, so his stand in party is also weak|

CRITICISM
As soon as statement from Bhushan came parties like Congress, BJP and RJD criticized it.RJD chief Lalu Prasad defended the PM and criticized Team Anna for indulging in disrespectful comments.
BJP asked Team Anna to exercise control over its language while criticizing the PM, saying use of intemperate words against somebody holding the top post was not acceptable. The party however added that the issues being raised by the activists were important.
Congress too jumped in to defend Singh. Pointing out that members of Anna Hazare's team were themselves trading charges of irregularities against each other, minister of state V Narayansamy said
