BANGALORE, APRIL 7. The State unit of the Janata Dal (United) has demanded a public apology from the Congress President, Sonia Gandhi, for allegedly making false allegations against the party President and former Defence Minister, George Fernandes, on Defence procurements. In response to a public interest litigation petition, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government has filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court stating that no rule was violated in the Defence purchases made during and after the 1999 Kargil war. Addressing presspersons here on Thursday, the Janata Dal (U) State unit President, B. Somashekar, said the Congress-led Opposition in Parliament had not allowed Mr. Fernandes to speak as Minister for several months and it boycotted sessions many times on the issue. The Congress campaigned against Mr. Fernandes during the elections and exploited the issue to win seats, he alleged.
