Pranab: I do NOT indulge in mud slinging
July 11, 2012 16:10
A day after the Election Commission rejected the petition filed by the P A Sangma camp objecting to the nomination of Pranab Mukherjee, the UPA Presidential candidate today said it was now a closed chapter.
"Since all the disputes about my nomination have been resolved by the returning officer, there was nothing left for me to say about them," Mukherjee said during an interaction with the media.
Citing Constitutional and legal provisions, the Election Commission yesterday rejected the petition of opposition- backed P A Sangma camp saying it was not maintainable before it. On the many charges levelled against him, Mukherjee said, "I do not indulge in mud-slinging."
Mr Mukherjee can certainly afford to sit pretty by taking the high moral ground.
