The news spread profusely trough the sections of media. Prashant bhushan, senior lawyer and son of Shanti Bhushan quoted, “it is an ugly attempt to smear the campaign against corruption and intends to malign the image of the public representatives who are the part of drafting committee for Jan lokpal bill”.
Shanti Bhushan straightaway passed the cd to forensic experts for examination and analysis of the voice. Subsequently, as the forensic report came out, Shanti Bhushan made statement to media, revealing that the cd was fabricated and the voices are been mixed up and spliced”. He alleges that Amar Singh may have a hand in instigating the controversy.
Contrariwise Amar Singh said that the voice of Shanti Bhushan in cd is original. He also went on to hand over the other versions of cd to the police in the Indraprasth police station. Immidiately after this, he conducted a press meeting at his home where he opened a front against the Bhushan’s.
The water became murkier when he attacked the Bhushan’s with the charges of corruption. Amar singh asked the noted lawyer to give his voice sample in order to establish the authenticity of the cd, suggesting that he considered the cd to be genuine. He also marked that the Bhushans are behind the circulation of the controversial tapes conataining illegally taped phone conversations, despite a ban been called upon by SC.
The question now arises is that, why has the cd surfaced at this conjucture when the Anna Hazare and the company is on the verge of drafting a indispensable bill in collaboration with the government representatives?
Anna Hazare expressed his disappointment over this in a letter written to UPA chairman Sonia Gandhi saying that all the corrupt people seems to have got united and are trying to derail the process of drafting the bill.
The anti-corruption movement crusader urged Sonia Gandhi to restrain her colleagues. His letter projected resentment towards the statements made by Digvijay singh in which Singh had questioned Bhushan’s about the recovery notice on their Allahabad property.
Earlier Singh had also criticized Hazare for praising Gujarat Chief Minister Narender Modi. To this congress spokeperson backed their answer saying that in a democracy everyone has the right to present his or her point of view and congress would not gag its party leaders.
In another statement Anna Hazare crystallized that he would not withdraw his deadline of august 15 for passage of the bill and any failure to meet the deadline would “result in to a mass protest by the people”.- Gaurav Saini
