The Hindu
The former Union Minister said the issue had cost the nation dearly, and asked why nothing was being said about the thousands of crores worth of bank frauds being seen in the country now
Former Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Vinod Rai and those who “maligned” the Congress in the 2G scam must apologise to the nation, former Union Minister Salman Khurshid said in Chennai on Tuesday. He asked why Mr. Rai, who is the chairman of the Banking Recruitment Board, has not uttered a word on the thousands of crores of banking frauds seen in the country.
“Vinod Rai, Gen V.K. Singh, Kiran Bedi [former Lt. Governor of Puducherry], Baba Ramdev, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Anna Hazare [all were part of the anti-corruption movement against the UPA], the BJP-RSS and those who maligned the Congress must apologise to the nation. This conspiracy has cost the nation dearly,” Mr. Khurshid said, while addressing a press conference.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat urges people to understand the organisation's goal of uniting Hindu society, emphasizing close contact over distance.
