New Delhi: Backing
Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal and Law Minister Ashwani
Kumar, the Congress Sunday said no action will be taken against
them immediately.
"There is a probe going on, let the result come. We will decide
after that," Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari
told reporters after a meeting of the Congress core group at Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh's official residence here.
"My request to all of you would be, since the honourable railway
minister has welcomed the investigation, let the investigation
fructify. I don't think it is keeping in view with the of Indian
jurisprudence to prejudge or pre-decide issues," Tewari said.
On Ashwani Kumar, he said the matter is sub-judice and a decision
will be taken after the Supreme Court's decision.
"As far as the law minister is concerned, the matter is sub judice.
As far as I know, on May 8 it will be taken up by the Supreme
Court, if the government has to say anything, government will say
it in the Supreme Court through its law officers," he said.
The Congress leader also came down heavily on opposition Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) for demanding the resignations.
"Unfortunately if somebody starts suffering from a diseases called
resignationitis, that they want everybody to resign, then that
does not auger well for democracy," Tewari said.
He also referred to the statement of National Democratic Alliance
(NDA) convener Sharad Yadav backing Bansal.
"The BJP would be well served to refer to the statement of the NDA
convener. Sharad Yadav articulated the position very succinctly.
There for it is not as if there is a united opposition," he said.
Yadav had backed Bansal saying: "If any relative of a political
leader is involved in corruption, then what is the fault of that
leader. I have known Pawan Bansal for a long time. He has been in
Parliament for a long time. What has he to do with anything if his
nephew is taking bribe."
