A day after being queried about his outfit’s funding and his government service, India Against Corruption [IAC] leader Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday hit back, daring PM Manmohan Singh, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and general secretary Rahul Gandhi to a public debate on corruption.
He also asked Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh, who had posed the questions, to first get his party chief and the prime minister to reply to corruption charges against the UPA government.
The Congress reacted dismissively to the challenge from Kejriwal, with union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Harish Rawat saying the prime minister cannot be responding to each and every person or issue.
Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde called the IAC and Arvind Kejriwal’s tactics as ‘promoting indiscipline’ in society.
Reacting to Digvijay Singh’s questions, Kejriwal in an interview with a TV channel said: ‘Let him first persuade Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to respond to our charges. Then, I will respond to each of his questions.’
Digvijay Singh, on Friday had called Kejriwal a ‘self-serving ambitious megalomaniac with scant regard for democracy’.
Kejriwal also wanted Digvijay Singh to get answers from the prime minister, Vadra and Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on the land deals.
