Welcoming the further probe ordered by a Delhi court in the 2008 cash-for vote scam, BJP on Monday said that now it won't be long when hands of law would reach Robert Vadra, son-in-law of All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Sonia Gandhi.
A Delhi court on Monday ordered further probe into the 2008 cash-for-vote scam to "unearth the hidden truth" in the case in which Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh is also an accused. "It is better late than never," senior BJP MP and incharge of Gujarat state Balbir Punj told reporters. "What happened in the parliament in 2008 everybody knows. The most sad part about the episode was that the people who exposed the scam have been penalised, while those who tried to bribe the MPs are roaming freely. Not only that they are even ruling the country," he added.
Punj further said, " This order of the court becomes significant in context of the recent serious allegations leveled against Vadra, a member of the royal family of the Congress. The hands of law are now soon going to reach the 'Gangotri' (epicenter) of corruption in the country."
Social activist turned politician Arvind Kejriwal had last week alleged that realty major DLF gave interest free unsecured loan to Vadra's companies and also sold properties to him at throw-away price. He had further charged that the Haryana government favoured DLF by allotment of land. BJP has been demanding a judicial inquiry into the allegations. Punj was in Ahmedabad to attend a BJP meet to work out election strategy.
