Dharam slams Vishwanath for referance on S M Krishna

Bangalore, Jan 29 (UNI) Former Karnataka Chief Minister N Dharam Singh today described the references made on Maharashtra Governor S M Krishna in the autobiography of Congress leader M Vishwanath as unwarranted and in bad taste.

Reacting to the protests against the book by Mr Krishna's supporters in Mysore yesterday, Mr Singh told reporters here that it was not proper to make such comments on a senior leader like Krishna".

"The references would not have any impact on the either the image of Mr Krishna or the Congress party. Mr Vishwanath is known for raking up controversies. I will advise him in this regard," he said.

The release of the autobiography titled 'Halli Hakkia Hadu' in Mysore was stalled yesterday following the protests.

However, Mr Vishwanath released the book today.
