Current parliamentarian gets every blame (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impeach

'blame' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'current parliamentarian gets every' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'parliamentarian' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'every' becomes 'each' (synonyms).
'i'+'mp'+'each'='IMPEACH'

(Other definitions for impeach that I've seen before include "Charge with major crime" , "Disparage" , "Charge with a crime (against the state)" , "Accuse of serious crime against the state, say treason" , "Criticise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
