NEW DELHI, SEPT. 29. The Congress said today that the party stood committed to eliminating corruption from public life and denied that any decision to set up a Group of Ministers to go into scams during the previous National Democratic Alliance regime should not be viewed as "vindictive." The party said the Congress had fought the recent general elections on the plank of taking on corruption and raised the issue of the defence deals entered into by the NDA Government as also the under-utilisation of defence budget. Responding to the Bharatiya Janata Party criticism, the Congress spokesperson, Jayanti Natarajan, asked if the BJP was nervous about the truth. If it had nothing to fear it would welcome the probe." The party demanded an apology from the Gujarat Government and withdrawal of the textbooks for classes VII, VIII that wrongly carried a map showing Kashmir as part of Pakistan. Ms. Natarajan said the Government should immediately issue a corrected map and tender a public apology.
