Team Anna politically motivated: Digvijay
December 24th, 2011 - 4:14 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Dec 24 (IANS) Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh Saturday accused Team Anna of targetting his party due to political reason and said it was not concerned about corruption.
“What they are trying to do is totally political, they are not targeting those who are opposing the bill or those who are opposed to the very concept of the Lokpal. But they are targeting the Congress which has from day one tried to accommodate the views of Team Anna,” he said.
He said Team Anna will have to trust the judgement of the MPs, who will vote on a Lokpal bill.
“Most demands by Team Anna have been incorporated in the Lokpal, the prime minister has been included and the CBI has also been to some extent brought under its ambit,” he said.
Taking a dig at Anna Hazare’s associates, he said: “It is unfair that Anna will be kept hungry and those around him will eat cream. Anna is going to Mumbai from Delhi not because of the cold (weather) but funds.”
