Team Anna Wants An Independent Inquiry Into The Allegations Against PM

With (PM) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh declaring that he will quit public life if corruption allegations are proved against him, Team Anna on Wednesday demanded an independent inquiry  into he charges, saying they will be most happy if these are proved wrong.

Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal said that it was not they who came up with charges against him but it was in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on coal bloc allocations. ‘We will be most happy if the allegations levelled against the Prime Minister, is found false. But how will it be proved? For that we need to have an independent investigating agency to probe it,’ Anna told reporters.

‘The Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said that the allegations levelled against him were nonstable & unfortunate and irresponsible. And also said that we want to tell him that it was not we who levelled these allegations but the CAG, which is a Constitutional body,’ PM said.

Mr. Kejriwal said that he would like to ask the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh whether he considered ‘irresponsible’ the CAG report which is pegging a loss of Rs. 1.80 lakh crore to the exchequer in the allocation of coal blocs.
