Khurshid Willing for Any Probe But No Intention to Quit


Bangalore: Law Minister Salman Khurshid came out with documents to rubbish charges of misappropriation of funds by a trust run by him and his wife and expressed willingness for any probe while making it clear that he has no intention to resign.

Soon after his return from London, he left the decision about his continuance in the government to the Congress High Command but said he will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to "share my experiences" with him.

Addressing a press conference which witnessed high drama and sparring between him and journalists of a media group, he displayed documents and photographs to show that camps were held for distribution of equipment to the disabled people.

Khurshid, flanked by his wife Louise who is Project Director of the Zakir Hussain Trust, said the Uttar Pradesh government, at their behest, was already probing whether an affidavit signed by a state government official J B Singh carried forged signatures as has been alleged.
