"The government should constitute a Special Investigation Team to probe the charges. Let them come out clean if they are not corrupt," she told a public meet organised by India Against Corruption here.

Bedi refrained from giving a direct comment on whether Mukherjee should contest the presidential polls or not but said his name also figures in the list of 14 ministers.

She also took a jibe at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's recent announcement to contribute USD 10 billion for IMF's financial firewall for the eurozone during the G20 summit in Los Cabos.
