Jaipur: The Congress on Sunday demanded Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat resignation for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to topple the Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan.
Party leader and former Union minister Ajay Maken said the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Rajasthan police has registered a case in connection with the audiotapes of a purported conversation between Congress MLA Bhanwarlal Sharma, Shekhawat and one Sanjay Jain.
"If Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat is claiming that it is not his voice and the reference in the audio clip is of some other Gajendra Singh, then why is he afraid of giving voice samples?" Maken asked.
CONGRESS' FIVE QUESTIONS:
- Gajendra Shekhawat said his voice is not in the audiotape, then why is he refusing to come forward and give his voice sample?
- What is stopping Haryana and Delhi Police to take Shekhawat, Bhanwarlal Sharma, Vishvendra Singh's voice sample, if the three are not guilty?
- Is the central government threatening CBI because the people sitting at top positions are involved and a fair investigation will expose them?
- Where from all the black money is coming? How is it being transferred by Hawala?
- If BJP has no role, why are they trying so hard to keep Haryana Government, Income Tax, ED, Haryana Police, Delhi Police out of the investigation of Rajasthan police?
He said Shekhawat has no moral authority to continue as a Union minister and should resign so that the investigation is not influenced.
Maken also alleged that the police in Haryana and Delhi are giving protection to rebel Congress MLAs from Rajasthan.
He said the Centre is threatening in the name of CBI because it wants to stop the probe into the conspiracy.
