Jaitley should answer who implicated Bachchan in Bofors: Amar

Apr 30, 2012

New Delhi: Former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh has said BJP leader Arun Jaitley should answer who implicated actor Amitabh Bachchan in Bofors scam.

“Jaitley and Bhure Lal were part of the investigation team. Jaitley should answer who implicated Bachchan in the case,” he told Aaj Tak channel.

Jaitley, who was the Additional Solicitor General during the VP Singh government’s rule, declined to comment on Singh’s claim.

“Jaitley needs to clear his name and if needed he should file a defamation case against the Swedish police chief,” Singh said adding “VP Singh’s agenda was Bofors”.

The former Swedish police chief Sten Lindstrom had claimed in a media interview last week that some Indian investigators had linked Bachchan to the Bofors case.
