Kalmadi should resign if found guilty: Digvijay Singh | Congress General Secretary and in charge of Uttar
Pradesh affairs Digvijay Singh on Tuesday said the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi should resign if found guilty into all allegations
of corruption related to the Games. "The Central Vigilance Commission has handed
over a case to the CBI . Prima facie, if there is indeed a case against Kalmadi
then he should resign on moral grounds," Singh told reporters here. He reiterated
that if there is a prima facie case against Kalmadi, then to step down is the
only logical thing to do. According to media reports, Kalmadi has provided more
fodder for a united opposition attack on the government. In a report, the Times
of India claimed that it had procured enough evidence to prove that Kalmadi cleared
payments due to AM Films without a written contract or proper tender process.
The newspaper report alleges that more emails and faxed documents point to Kalmadi's
involvement. AM Films and AM Car and Van Hire reportedly received 247,000 pounds.
Businessman Ashish Patel and Commonwealth Committee members, however, said that
it was done for the 2009 Queen's Baton ceremony. Meanwhile, following a plea by
the Union Sports Ministry, the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (CGOC)
has terminated the services of its Joint Director General T S Darbari over charges
of corruption. Darbari has been asked to hand over charge to Additional Director
General VK Saxena. The Sports Ministry said it was not pleased with just Darbari's
suspension and wrote several letters to the organising committee seeking his ouster. |
