Have nothing to say: Manmohan Singh on Justice Markandey Katju’s charge

While the allegations of corruption in judiciary made by ex-Supreme Court Justice Markandey Katju continues to raise the political temperature of the country, former prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on Tuesday broke his silence on the issue and said that he had nothing more to add since his colleague HR Bhardwaj had already spoken on the same.

“The then law minister HR Bhardwaj has explained everything. I have nothing more to add.” Dr Manmohan Singh was quoted as telling a news channel.

The reaction from Dr Singh came after the ruling BJP asked the Congress party to clear the stand on the issue.

Press Council of India chairman Justice Markandey Katju had recently created a flutter by claiming that a District Judge in Tamil Nadu was elevated as an Additional Judge of the Madras High Court despite charges of corruption against him.
