Bangalore, Oct 27 (PTI) Taking a swipe at Team Anna's fight
against corruption, Congress leader Digvijay Singh today said
the civil society members were diverting attention of the
people from terror activities perpetrated by saffron outfits.
"I have always been saying from day one that this (Team
Anna's fight against corruption) is a part of an overall plan
of RSS-BJP combine to divert the attention from Sangh's
involvement in Malegaon, Hyderabad, Ajmer Sharif and Samjhauta
Express blasts," the AICC General Secretary told reporters at
the Bangalore International Airport here.
Criticising BJP leader L K Advani's Jan Chethana Yatra,
Singh said the party's record on charges of corruption was
pathetic.
"Why did not the BJP register a case against Bangaru Laxman
under the Prevention of Corruption Act when he was caught
accepting money on tape," he questioned.
The BJP also failed to register a case against Jaya
Jaitley when she was caught on tape striking an illegal arms
deal in former union Defence Minister's (George Fernandes)
house, Singh said.
"We took action against our allied members who were
involved in corrupt practices or scams," he said.
The UPA government had taken all possible steps under the
leadership of AICC President Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh to check corruption, Singh said.
"The Right to Information Act was brought by us and Money
Laundering Act was made stringent by us," he said.
