No one will disagree that leaders need to be truthful and righteous. Righteousness may be interpreted in different ways , but truthfulness is probably not a negotiable term.
Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution of Pakistan require the prime minister to be truthful and righteous respectively. Karan Thapar translates 'sadiq' and 'ameen' accordingly. Nawaz Sharif has been unseated by the Supreme Court for violating these requirements.
One wonders if there is any reference to truthfulness and righteousness in the Indian Constitution. If there is such a requirement, Manmohan Singh would have received the sack a thousand times.
