Mulayam furious; calls Team Anna a 'den of criminals'

New Delhi, Mar 30: With key Team Anna member, Arvind Kejriwal at the receiving end of brickbats for his views on Indian parliamentarians and calling them 'criminals', Samajwadi party Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has slammed back at Kejriwal for his comments and called Team Anna a 'den of criminals'.

Yadav has been quoted as saying to reporters, "Anna Hazare is surrounded by corrupt people. You can forgive, but not forget. Take action against them under a breach of privilege motion. Call them here in Parliament as accused and let them stand here."

Yadav had earlier demanded the passage of a breach of privilege motion against Team Anna. Team Anna faced the ire of politicians across the spectrum for his remarks on the country's Parliamentarians on Mar 25.

In an earlier instance, Kejriwal stated that FIRs would be filed against 14 Cabinet Ministers if an effective Lokpal Bill is passed. Among the corrupt ministers he named include politicians Sharad Pawar, SM Krishna, P Chidambaram, Praful Patel, Kapil Sibal, Kamal Nath, Farooq Abdullah, Ajit Singh, Sri Prakash Jaiswal, Sushil Kumar Shinde, Vilasrao Deshmukh, MK Azhagiri and GK Vasan.

Kejriwal commented, "If the Lokpal Bill comes into force, FIRs will be lodged against 14 ministers of the Union Government. Who will punish people like them? Delhi Police or the CBI? No one knows because these people will never pass Lokpal Bill."
