Congress leader Digvijay Singh who claimed to have evidence of corruption against some BJP leaders, should come out with it, Union Minister Kapil Sibal said today.
At a session of a two-day programme 'Agenda' organised by 'Aaj Tak' news channel, the Science and Technology Minister said that in democracy, if a person is having any evidence of corruption against someone, then it is his responsibility to make it public.
"You ask Digvijay Singh about this. This is dangerous for democracy. If you have evidence against someone, then it is your responsibility to produce it in front of the public," Sibal said.
He was asked to comment on Singh's recent statement that to has evidence of graft against some BJP leaders but is not willing to come out with it.
"Not only me. There were lot of things, which came out during the NDA regime. But did Congress party ever use that.
We will never use this... If I say, I do not have it (evidence against kin of L K Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee), then it is not correct," Singh had said during a TV interview recently.
Sibal along with BJP's Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley and CPI(M)'s senior leader Sitaram Yechury also fielded questions on future leadership of the country during next general elections.
Both Sibal and Jaitely refused to comment on future leadership of their parties and said that it will be decided at an appropriate time.
Asked to comment on Rahul Gandhi's candidature for the post of Prime Minister from Congress, Sibal said, "First I will like to say that please leave it to the Congress party to decide what will happen in 2014. Please wait till 2014."
He insisted that future leadership of the country will come from Congress party only.
"It is sure that all leaders will emerge from Congress party only and Congress leadership will present itself in front of you," Sibal said.
Asked to comment on a recent statement by senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has the ability to become Prime Minister, Jaitley said the party has several talented leaders and Modi has proven his skills as one of them.
"We have several talented leaders. Modi has established his capability by winning elections and with good administration. We have a system to decide the leadership of BJP and NDA, and we will follow that," he said.
Asked to comment on a general perception against Modi that he divides the nation, Jaitley said, "For every leader there can be praise and opposition together. His (Modi's) administrative and political skills are known to every one."

Look at the way news media is bought and hijacked by Corrupt Nascist Scamster Natwarlal Congress. Instead of going after scams after scams, Robert Vadra, educational background and who is Roul Ghandi, this media is rotating the news about BJP - the party which we didnt vote. Most of the readers are upset at BJP not because of what it did but because we voted for this scamster Manmohan twice and now we are regretting it. Look at it. Digg Ding Dong talks about Atalji and Advaniji. Have you ever seen a positive news about BJP? How come Sonia's health is private but her mouth where she spews venom is not private? Have you seen how the media is so minority focused and so anti-Hindu? WHY? If Modi was elected twice in Gujrat and he is doing a good job and Gujrat has developed that is not because of him but Gujrati's. But, if Robert Vadra is looting then he is a private citizen. If Coalgate happens then PM is sleepy but when FDI pays for his daughters education Manmohan opens his mouth.

Everyone who is following english news media thinks that FDI via walmart is good for the country. Really? Then why the debate. Why not ask Walmart to buy 100% goods locally and do a favor to the country. Will they? Walmart can import 70% of its requirements which it will via China. Where is the foreign currency to pay for it? America went through severe recession because of consumer frenzy and luxury of buying houses when they cannot afford. And this is America which can print dollars. How is India going to pay for its luxury of buying chinese goods via Walmart. How is it going to handle social unrest? How is it going to handle next recession? Already manufacturing sector has lost to China. With Walmart if farmers are going to benefit then lets ask them to put that in writing that they will only buy 100% from India and from Indian farmers. Else Manmohan you have lied enough that now even hell does not have space for you...forget about heaven.

When someone tweeted about Sonia Gandhi / Rahul Gandhi / Robert Vadera ... Sibbal called all the CEO's of the respective Public Domains such as Yahoo / Tweeter / Youtube .. and asked them to remove all the material against them ... a dressing down was given to all of them in his office .... and when the same thing happened in case of others ie ShivSena Chief ... The police were suspended ??? Sibbal / Digvijay / Tiwari / Singhvi are all spindoctors of Congress ...and have no shame in lieying to public openly .. which everybody has acknowledged ...
