| Manmohan dismisses charge of mole in PMO | | | New Delhi, July 23 : Dismissing the charge by senior BJP leader Jaswant Singh that there was a mole in the PMO during the tenure of P V Narasimha Rao, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today dared him to name the person.
If he (Jaswant) has the decency and courage, he should name the person whom he is accusing of being a mole. We are not afraid of any debate on any issue," the Prime Minister told reporters here.
He was responding to questions after a luncheon meeting with leaders of all political parties convened by Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee a day before the beginning of the monsoon session of Parliament.
Former foreign minister Jaswant Singh has claimed in his book "A Call To Honour" that someone in the PMO during late prime minister P V Narasimha Rao's tenure had leaked nuclear secrets to the US and that "we are still being snooped".
The Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha said he had come to know about this a decade ago but remained quiet so far as he did not want to sensationalise the issue. |
