New Delhi, April 18: Unfazed by Gandhian Anna Hazare’s complaint to party chief Sonia Gandhi on Lokpal Bill, Congress today came out in support of party general secretary Digvijay Singh asking what crime he has committed by airing his opinion on the issue.
“He has been Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh for two terms. He is a responsible leader in political and social field. Has he committed a crime?” party spokesperson Manish Tewari asked.
He was replying to a barrage of questions on Hazare’s letter to Gandhi in which he complained that “corrupt forces” have united to derail the process of drafting an effective Lokpal bill.
The refrain of Tewari was “in a democracy everybody is entitled to articulate his or her views. This course in democracy is not a one way affair.If in a democracy, if you cannot place your views in public space, it will spell death of democracy.
