| BJP urges PM to take Jammu seriously | | |
New Delhi | Aug 3
Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Arun Jaitley has demanded that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should take the situation in Jammu more seriously.
Jaitley said the demands of the people of Jammu should be met.
Referring to the 'cash-for-vote scam', Jaitley said that BJP had resolved to find out the truth.
On the slow progress of the probe into the scam, he said that it was the work of the media and the police, adding that they had failed.
The BJP claimed to have gathered documentary evidence in the "cash for vote" scam and has submitted them before the Parliamentary committee probing the matter, its senior leader Arun Jaitley said.
The party, which inquired into the matter, has also written a 17-page letter to the Parliamentary committee headed by Congress member V Kishore Chandradeo, he said.
Jaitley said Samajwadi MP Reoti Raman Singh had offered his party MPs the cash. Singh made the offer on the night of July 21.
He alleged that SP leader Amar Singh was behind the entire episode.
"The investigating agencies did not do their job. So we inquired into the matter and gathered documentary evidence in the case," Jaitley told reporters.
He alleged the 'cash for vote' scam, showing money being paid to get votes, reflects the subversion of Indian Parliament. He said there was subversion of a section of media also.
"One channel recorded it. It was waited that the channel would show the independent evidences. That did not happen. We saw subversion of a section of media," he said.
