NEW DELHI:
Samajwadi Party general secretary and spokesman Amar Singh, on Thursday, released a Compact Disc, apparently containing a dialogue between a private television channel reporter and Vishwanath Chaturvedi who has filed a Public Interest Litigation petition seeking probe into the disproportionate assests of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav. On Thursday, the Supreme Court asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to gather information on whether the matter merited investigation.
In the CD, parts of which was played at a press conference here, a voice purported to be Mr. Chaturvedi's was "dropping names of Congress leaders" and alluding motives in the matter. According to Mr. Singh, the CD revealed the "credibility" of Mr. Chaturvedi who, he said was a Congress worker and that he filed the PIL petition with the party's backing. "I request the Congress to fight us through the ballot, not in this manner," he said.
According to Mr. Singh, the reporter who spoke to Mr. Chaturvedi has owned the recording of the dialogue.
