Followed by this, Borris Johnson resigned from his position and stated that he will not return to politics (he says for now).
Jairam Ramesh Compares PM Modi and Mr. Johnson
Mr. Jairam drew a hard-hitting comparison between the Prime Minister and Mr. Johnson. The comparison was based on the slogan raised by the BJP during the 2014 election campaign. The slogan was ‘Achhe Din’. This slogan gave a promise of ‘good days’, which according to the opposition is not kept.
Mr. Ramesh expressed himself via a Tweet that said, “A Parliamentary Committee in the UK investigated and concluded that PM Boris Johnson lied to Parliament. He has now resigned as MP and quit politics, he says for now. There are some other PMs who provide the Parliament and the nation with a daily dose of Truth Free sweeteners. Imagine if they were to be held accountable for their lies, distortions, fabrications, and silences on burning national issues. Imagine if we were a truly functional Parliamentary democracy like we used to be before the so-called Achhe Din was unleashed on us,”

Boris Johnson’s resignation
A legislative inquiry was looking into whether Johnson, 58, had lied to the House of Commons about lockdown-breaking gatherings in Downing Street during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Johnson’s judgment came on Friday as he received a private letter regarding the significant issue from the MP-led Privileges Committee. Johnson claimed that the Commons investigation was an effort to “drive me out.”
In a statement, he said: “They have still not produced a shred of evidence that I knowingly or recklessly misled the Commons.”
Earlier on Friday, he received a copy of the yet-to-be-published report, which he claimed was “riddled with inaccuracies and reeks of prejudice”.
