Another skeleton?

The Emergency, massacre of Sikhs, Bofors, the Mitrokhin papers, and now the Volcker Committee report saying the Congress and its leader Natwar Singh were non-contractual beneficiaries of the United Nations' Iraqi oil-for-food programme. There seems to be no end to the number of skeletons in the Congress cupboard. It is hoped that the issue, like the KGB papers, will not be brushed aside as not worth reacting to.

The Volcker Committee report is real and supported by statistics. It is not like the `KGB issue' that was mentioned in a book.

Mr. Natwar Singh's claim that the disclosure in the report is part of the continuing campaign to malign the Congress and its leadership defies logic. Of what interest is Indian politics to the U.N.- appointed Paul Volcker? Mr. Singh and the Congress should make an honest attempt to answer the points raised and come clean instead of dismissing the report.
