RJD demands case against BJP leaders in CD episode

Patna, Aug 2(UNI) Sharing opinion with the Bhartiya Janshakti Party leader Uma Bharti over the CD released by her showing some of the BJP leaders receiving cash which was produced during 'trust vote' in Parliament, the RJD today demanded that a criminal case be registered against the BJP leaders in this connection.

RJD's state unit president Abdul Bari Siddiqui and chief general secretary Ramkripal Yadav said here the behaviour of BJP leader L K Advani had indicated that he was the pioneer of this episode.

Instead of informing the Speaker, he encouraged the BJP MPs to stage the incident in the Lok Sabha, they alleged.

Mr Siddiqui further stated that one of the MP- Phagan Singh Kulaste in the CD had been heard saying that BJP leaders Mr Advani, Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivaraj Singh Chauhan were fully aware of the incident which lowered the dignity of Parliament.

The RJD leaders demanded initiation of privilege motion against Mr Advani for this ''unfortunate'' incident.

They also demanded immediate arrest of the leaders guilty in the ''cash for vote'' episode.
