New Delhi,The government today said that a judge
will be appointed to conduct probe into Gujarat 'snoopgate' before counting of
votes in Lok Sabha polls and rubbished BJP leader Arun Jaitley's claim that no
judge will "lend" himself to the "political and malafide" exercise
targeting Narendra Modi.
"The Cabinet had taken the decision to appoint a Commission
of Inquiry to probe the incident of snooping on a woman in Gujarat. We will
soon appoint the judge....before May 16," Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde
told a press conference in Shimla.Asked whether the appointment of a judge in the midst of Lok Sabha
elections would not amount to violation of the Model Code of Conduct, Shinde
said, "It will not" as the decision had been taken more than four
months ago by the Union Cabinet.
I am worried. The way the
Chief Minister of Gujarat had snooped into the life of a woman, I am really
worried what will happen to the women of the country if he becomes the Prime
Minister," he said.
In New Delhi, Law Minister Kapil Sibal rubbished Jaitley's claim
that no judge will "lend" himself to the "political and
malafide" exercise targeting the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate."You will get a snoopgate judge before May 16. I don't know
why these people are so worried? Why leaders of BJP are worried and why they
are making public statement that no judge should join this commission?,"
he said.Sibal said that Modi against whom accusations have been made in
the controversy will be investigated.
