New Delhi: The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has written a letter to social activist Anna Hazare rejecting all corruption charges levelled against the PM over the alleged irregularities in the allocation of coal blocks.
The letter, written by Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanasamy, says that the allegations seem to be based on the leaked report of the Comptroller and Auditor General or CAG and media reports and no evidence has been provided to support the allegations. (Read Letter)
The letter also says the coal blocks were allocated in accordance with the laid down rules and was done in public interest.
Last month, Anna's aides Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan had written to the Prime Minister demanding for the setting up of a Special Investigation Team to probe cases of corruption against 15 ministers, including him, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and External Affairs Minister SM Krishna. The anti-graft group had picked up portions of a CAG draft report to make charges against the Prime Minister when the Coal Ministry was with him.
