New Delhi:
Sharad Yadav, president of the JD(U) is addressing the media over various issues. He spoke about the disruptions in Parliament and the two Congress ministers caught in a bind over allegations of corruption and interfering with the CBI in the coal report.
Highlights of his press conference.
- Day by day, the situation is becoming bad.
- The government is not doing its own work. People are being forced to go to the Supreme Court.
- The Supreme Court had clearly said the coal report should not be shared, but this was not done . And so the court was forced to say 'heart of the report was changed.'
- There is a clear case against Ashwani Kumar . The country can't carry the burden of what he has done . Many people have resigned on moral grounds. This is nothing new.
- The parliament should have functioned.
- Many parties , and I dont want to name them, think that merely stopping Parliament is enough . But that's not done.
- Even in the NDA , I had agreed that we should not let parliament run, but only for a day or two.
- This is very strange, some people don't want to go to Parliament but want to go to TV channels for debates.
- I earlier defended Pawan Bansal (Railway Minister), but now more and more stuff is tumbling out. Even another minister Virbhadra Singh resigned earlier on moral grounds, what's wrong with it.
- The involvement of Pawan Bansal s family is coming out . Whatever new info is coming out, I dont believe all of it. But, there is nothing wrong in resigning. As a friend, I am telling him not to get more stained by the muck and actually resign.
