Cong non-committal on fate of Bansal, Kumar

Congress today remained non-committal on the fate of Union Ministers P K Bansal, whose nephew was arrested on bribery charge, and Ashwani Kumar accused of altering the CBI probe report on Coalgate.
"Don't jump the gun.....Till we get more conclusive evidence.....We need to wait before we get the information...It is not in our interest to sit in judgement till we get facts", party spokesperson Renuka Chowdhury told reporters.
She was replying to a volley of questions as to why the Congress leadership had given reprieve to the Railway Minister and the Law Minister despite growing demands for their removal.
"Prematurely jumping the gun is not judicious. Uniform and steady is our approach,", she said dismissing opposition charges that Congress was adopting different yardsticks for different leaders.

Speaking separately, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath spoke in a similar vein. "The probe is going on. The truth should come out. It is a bad tradition to ask for any resignations before the probe is complete," Nath told reporters when asked about BJP's demand for Bansal's resignation.
