Khurshid asks Hazare to bring movement on track

June 14, 2012 21:27

Rejecting allegations of corruption levelled by Team Anna, Law Minister Salman Khurshid has hit back saying it is difficult to concede them the "monopoly of patriotism and honesty" and advised Anna Hazare that there was still time to bring his movement to the "legitimate" path.

In a stinging letter to Anna Hazare, Khurshid, who is among the 13 ministers against whom Team Ann had sought a probe, said there were serious doubts about the activist's colleagues' faith in judicial system and said government works by rule of law and not by "whims of men no matter how well intentioned" it is.

Alleging that his team has allowed their passions to overwhelm their rational abilities, he said it was "difficult to concede to them a monopoly of patriotism and honesty particularly since there are many questions about their personal and public conduct that remain unanswered."
