The timing of surfacing the controversial purportedly Senior Lawyer, former Union Law Minister and Co-chairman of newly constituted joint Drafting Committee for Lokpal Bill, SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav that his son Prasant Bhushan, also SC lawyer and member Drafting Committee appears to have been the handiwork of vested interest to put a spike in anti-corruption move.
Because the CD is not new nor has it any authencity. On the basis of the reputed labaratories it has been proved that the CD is doctored. Prashant Bhushan has already lodged a complaint with the police and there is every possibility that he would move to the court of law to prove the conspiracy of the vested interests to malign the clean image of the civil activists. CD is carrying purported telephone conversation between Shanti Bhushan, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh was doctored. The CD has been subjected to forensic tests in two laboratories one in the US and other in Hyderabad and both the laboratories have confirmed clear signs of doctoring.
It is also a fact that the government has not on its own formed the Drafting Committee for Lokpal Bill to be tabled in the monsoon session of the Lok Sabha. It was put under immense pressure by the civil activists under the leadership of Gandhian Anna Hazare, who sat on hunger strike at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, which drew the spontanaeous support of the people all over the country that bowed the government to concede their demand.
So, if the apprehension is expressed that the attempt might have been made from the government side or civil society side to temper the CD by cutting and pasting it in such a way as could serve the ulterior motive, the truth must come out immediately by putting it to test its authencity at the best possible Centre in the world.
Government is also required to get the CD investigated thoroughly and whoever is found guilty must be awarded deterrent punishment.
