Team Anna Seeks Independent Probe into Charges against PM

Another Team Anna member Justice Santosh Hegde said it is “extremely difficult” to believe that allegations raised by Team Anna against Dr. Singh could exist but demanded an inquiry if there are documents to suggest that some wrongdoing was done.

“It is extremely difficult for me to believe, having seen the Prime Minister all these years, to say that such an allegation could exist. But at the same time, if somebody has said it is in documentary form, I think an inquiry should be held,” he said.

 In his comments, Mr. Hegde said, “if there are materials that are there, I think an inquiry should be held.”

 However, he said, he had not seen any of the documents Team Anna had sent to Dr. Singh seeking inquiry. “With regards to the charges made by Team Anna, I don’t have the facts with me,” he said.

On Dr. Singh’s remarks that the public should make up its mind whether Team Anna’s kind of politics will rule the roost in India, Mr. Kejriwal said they do not do politics.

“We are just common people who are affected by corruption and price rise. We oppose the kind of politics prevailing in the country. Today’s politics is snatching the food from the children, forcing farmers to commit suicide when some ministers are given permission to indulge in scams and get more richer,” he said.
