New Delhi, July 22: Thanking the UPA leadership and its constituents for a ‘convincing’ victory in the trust vote, a beaming Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said whatever is necessary under the law will be done on charges of bribing MPs.

"Whatever necessary in accordance with the provisions of the law will be done," Singh said in the Parliament complex.

He was replying to a question on the cross-voting and charges of bribery.

The Prime Minister said, "these developments (bribery charges) made me extremely sad, if true."

He said the government would cooperate to see that ‘the truth is established’.

The Prime Minister said he was ‘extremely grateful’ to the members of Parliament for giving ‘a convincing victory’.

"This vote gives a clear message to the world that India's head and heart are sound and India is prepared to take its rightful place in the comity of nations," Singh said.

He particularly thanked UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, leaders of the UPA and all those who worked for the victory.
