New Delhi : Reiterating that a controversial CD relating to Lokpal Bill drafting committee co-chair Shanti Bhushan is “illegal”, former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh Thursday said that the former law minister and his son Prashant Bhushan should quit the panel.
Singh also said he has sent the CD to five laboratories abroad and two in the country for testing.
“The Bhushans say they don’t know me and Shanti Bhushan gave me a free opinion. He said has not met or interacted with me but in 1996 he appeared twice in a case filed by us. We paid fees to him, which he had conveniently forgotten. I still maintain that the CD is illegal but the content is very lethal and dangerous if that is true,” Singh told a TV channel.
Singh said even if the CD is spliced, the content is serious and needs to be investigated.
“Following the controversy, the father and son duo should voluntarily resign from the committee,” he added.
The CD purpotedly contains a conversation between Shanti Bhushan, Amar Singh and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on fixing a judge for a hefty consideration. The CD has been tested in different labs which have given different versions on its authenticity.
