Opp livid over clean chit to Amar, Reoti Raman, Ahmed Patel
Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh and Congress veteran Ahmed Patel have been absolved of the charges of bribing three Bharatiya Janata Party MPs to save the UPA Government during the July 22 trust vote. The decision has drawn sharp criticism from the Opposition, which has claimed that the truth had become a victim of power play.
Submitting its conclusions, a parliamentary panel which probed the matter under the chairpersonship of Congress MP V Kishore Chandra Deo, found âno caseâ against Ahmed Patel. It noted that his alleged complicity in the episode was based on âpresumptions and surmisesâ. The panel laid its report in the Lok Sabha on Monday.
The committee also found âno conclusive proofâ against Amar Singh even as it maintained that âthere was nothing to show that money was offered for voting in favour of the motion of confidence or for abstaining from votingâ.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
