In yet, Team Anna blamed Congress to be the Center of corruption, but this time point totally turned as this time they accused 15 UPA minister of being “corrupt” including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
“We will wait till July 24. If the government does not take steps to (set up SIT), we will go on an indefinite fast from July 25,” activist Arvind Kejriwal told reporters, indicated charges were over portions of a draft CAG report against Singh when Coal Ministry was with him.
As per source, anti corruption committee issued a CAG report over the coal scam, being alleged the Prime Minister followed deal at throw away prices.
“The CAG report on the coal scam is the basis for alleging corruption; the Prime Minister was the coal minister between 2006 and 2009. Then coal blocks were given away at throw away prices. There were repeated efforts by the coal secretary to suggest that auctioning was the best way out,” lawyer Prashant Bhushan, a leading member of the Team Anna said while talking to media.
Listing Mr. Singh and Mukherjee to press allegations, other alleged ministers are- P Chidambaram, Sharad Pawar, S M Krishna, Kamal Nath, S M Krishna, Praful Patel, Vilasrao Deshmukh, Virbhadra Singh, Kapil Sibal, Salman Khurshid, G K Vasan, Farooq Abdullah, M Alagiri and Sushil Kumar Shinde.
Communicating the specific documents regarding report to PM, Core Committee members Arvind Kejriwal, Prashant Bhushan, Shanti Bhushan and Kiran Bedi demanded an independent probe by Special Investigation Team with three retired judges from a panel of Justices Sudarshan Reddy, A K Ganguly, A P Shah, Kuldeep Singh, J S Verma and M N Venkatachellaiah.
The UPA government has forcefully dismissed all allegations raised by Anna members as “unsubstantiated averments” that does not need to give any answer.
“It is not necessary that every unsubstantiated averment needs to be responded to”, Congress said.
Moreover, Anna’s this move over PM might be give negative response as some of core committee members have accused of financial misconduct and source reported that Kiran complained against Kejriwal led NGO for not using funds properly.
