New Delhi, November 16: Unperturbed by reports that the seized diaries of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda contained names of Congress leaders, the party today said it rejected any assertion of linkages with him.
“We reject the assertion on linkages,” AICC spokesman Manish Tewari told reporters when asked if the seized diaries contained names of the sympathisers of the party.
“It is a matter being investigated. It is not my job to second guess any investigation. The law of the land is for everybody to follow,” he said, adding that the Supreme Court has made its stand clear on diaries in the Jain Hawala case.
The apex court acquitted many politicians named in the Jain Hawala case in 1997 and 1998, partly because the hawala records (including diaries) were judged in court to be inadequate as the main evidence.
