UPA taint spreads to top law offices

Saswat Panigrahi

All eyes are on May 8 when the Supreme Court is going to come out with its verdict on CBI affidavit on Coalgate which has nailed Law Minister Ashwani Kumar, Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Coal Ministry, Attorney General GE Vanahvati and then Additional Solicitor General Harin Raval.
The CBI, in its affidavit, has admitted in as many as words that “significant changes” were made in the draft report of its probe into Coalgate. Law Minister, officials of PMO and Coal Ministry, and the two top law officers of the country — the Attorney General and the Additional Solicitor General – insisted on the changes.
Though CBI chief Ranjit Sinha maintains that the Coalgate probe report was neither altered and nor did the agency shift its focus of inquiries, there is a lot more to the matter than meets the eyes.
