Volckor Report : Mathrani Episode

Via Indian Express,

Mathrani names Natwar, son in Oil-for-Food scam

"In a sensational disclosure, India's Ambassador to Croatia Aniel Mathrani on friday claimed that Natwar Singh, who was stripped off the External Affairs Ministry portfolio after being named in the Volcker Committee report on Iraq's Oil-for-Food scam, had received oil allotment from Saddam Hussein's regime for his ‘personal services’. ....."

Further,

"....Mathrani said Natwar's son Jagat and his ‘cousin’ Andaleeb Sehgal had joined the delegation in Iraq in 2001 and stayed with them at the same hotel owned by the then ruling Baath party....."

To the mortal embarassment of the Empress, this case is not getting blown over.

Ofcourse Mathrani has done a volte - face, but this should be taken with a pinch of salt.

However, I am still sure that this government has no intention of investigating Volcker findings for the obvious reasons.

Meanwhile Congress is apperaing to be making Natwar walk the plank.
Well it would be good riddance to bad rubbish.


Natwar denies allegations
(Sure he will ! it must be an imperial conspiracy hatched by McDonal's /Pizza Hut)

We will punish the guilty: Manmohan
(Considering the amount of scum in present dispension, it is surprising that Manmohan Singh is never held responsible)

Update : Left bays for Natwar's blood ,which there must have been some sort of backroom sweetheart deal between left and congress.
Defeat in bihar election doesnt seem to me a jolt enough for left.

Jagat slams Congress, says Mathrani had blessings of Sonia, Manmohan , this means that either the son is as dense as father or both are guilty as hell, my money is on later .

More coverage on Indian Express He denied, now he damns: Natwar gave green signal for oil vouchers, says aide.

This time it seems Natwar Singh is down and out for good
