Co-chair of the Joint Drafting Committee on Lokpal Bill, Shanti Bhushan has written a letter to Home Minister P Chidambaram asking him to make report public prepared by CFSL, Chandigarh which reportedly said that a CD having purported conversations between him and leaders Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh were a cut and paste job.
Countering the claim of the investigating officer of Delhi Police that they cannot share with him the CFSL report of Chandigarh and other details as it will hamper the investigations, Bhushan asserted that the release of the report in “no way will hamper” the investigations as he was the sole complainant in the case.
“Some people are perceiving, though this perception is not shared by me, that perhaps an effort might be on to pressurise the CFSL, Chandigarh to change its report, and that is the reason to keep the report under wraps for so long,” he said.
Bhushan said that it was “strange” that the report of CFSL, Delhi which declared the fabricated CD to be authentic and was not even able to detect a crude cut and paste job, has already been released, while CFSL Chandigarh report is not being released.
The officer to whom the first CD was presented is awaiting confirmation in his post and he will have to be in “good books” of the authorities, he said and added “Since I know that the CD is a fabricated one, he appears to have given this totally incorrect report to ingratiate himself to them.”
The CD was circulated ahead of the first meeting of the joint drafting committee which had purported conversations between Bhushan and political leaders Yadav and Singh over fixing a judge. Bhushan had claimed that the CD was fabricated.
