Team Anna Seeks Independent Probe into Charges against PM

Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy, however, attacked Team Anna claiming that they had accused Dr. Singh of corruption and want him to be prosecuted but alleged that they have not specified under which section of Prevention of Corruption Act is he prima facie guilty.

He asked Anna Hazare to leave the group which is in the grip of “Naxalite-minded crazies” and join him and Ramdev in the fight against corruption.

 Mr. Kejriwal refused to respond to Dr. Swamy’s allegations saying they will not reply to such remarks.

Mr. Bhushan said Dr. Singh should have gone through the documents accompanying the ‘charge sheet’ before terming them as “irresponsible allegations...He should respond to them on a point-by-point basis, fact by fact basis.”

Another Team Anna member Kiran Bedi said, “PM is first among equals. If his equals are under a cloud as a leader of the team it is good leadership to set up an SIT to know the truth. If PM is clean, he can come out clean. Please submit to investigation. It shall be the lawful way to disprove CAG’s deductions,” she said.
