Charging the ruling Congress Party of running away from investigation on every scandal taking place in the country, the BJP today said Union Law Minister Salman Khurshid, who is facing allegations of forging signature of officials to benefit the Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust, should tender his resignation from the Manmohan Singh-led UPA II Government so that a free and fair investigation is conducted into the matter.

BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman alleged that the Congress Party is at the moment not ready to give a befitting reply to anybody''s question. "In today's scenario, the Congress is running away from inquiry on every scandal. The BJP believes that the Congress is running away from inquiry on every scandal that is taking place. They are not ready to answer to anybody''s questions," she said.

Sitharaman further said that a fair, free and open trial or investigation much before the trial couldn''t be conducted if the Law Minister continues to remain in office.
