Pioneer News Service / New Delhi
Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh has sought judicial inquiry into the incident of circulation of CDs containing conversations tapped from his telephone.
An application in this regard was filed by him before the Supreme Court on Thursday and is expected to come up for hearing before the court on Friday. The application came to be filed in the light of several television channels that flashed reports stating they had received copies of the CD.
"We have filed an application in the pending petition relating to the circulation of the CD," confirmed Mr Singh's counsel Pradeep Kumar. In the five-page application, Mr Singh has sought a direction to Uttar Pradesh police to investigate into the leak of the "illegally" tapped conversation.
<b>The CD titled "Amar Singh ki Amar Kahani" was mysteriously delivered to major TV channels a day before the Parliament Session begun.</b> The timing of the distribution gave credence to Mr Amar Singh's allegation that there was political conspiracy behind his telephone tapping.
Without naming Ms Ambika soni, Mr Singh wanted to know how this senior Congress leader, who is a now a Minister, and formerly Congress media manager, kept on commenting about the alleged contents of the tape. "I don't know if they tape is tampered or morphed, but it is a clear case of conspiracy. If they have the guts let them own it," he said.
Mr Singh has submitted in the application that Telecom Ministry, Ministry of Home Affairs, Delhi Government and Delhi Police should file reports before the court as to how the taped conversations was leaked to the media.
Pointing out that the CDs and other materials relating to the case was given to media led to "the inescapable conclusion that the officials of Delhi Police have a hand in the media obtaining these records." Mr Singh has accused the Congress and a Mumbai-based industrialist of distributing the tapes to the media.
"If they come up and own that they did ordered the sting, I will have no objection if anyone airs or broadcast the tape," he said.
