ShareJamshedpur: BJP leader and former union minister, Shanawaz Hussain today alleged that Congress party was trying to hush up the Rs2000 crore money laundering scam involving former Jharkhand Chief Minister, Madhu Koda.
A Member of Parliament from Bhagalpur constituency, Hussain demanded that the investigators should find out how did Koda carry such huge amount.
Addressing a press conference here, former union minister of state for civil aviation said BJP had demonstrated across the country with big bags after the Harshad Mehta securities scam in 1992 in which State Bank of India had lost Rs660 crores and had pointed an accusing finger at sitting Congress Prime Minister Narasimha Rao.
The money involved in the Koda episode was much higher and the investigating agencies should find out how did he carry the amount? Was it a bag or a trunk?, Hussain said alleging that RJD and Congress leaders were also involved in the scam.
"Koda is only the king of the scam but we want the kingmakers involved in the scam should also be booked immediately", Hussain said demanding that the investigating agencies should make public the information gathered in course of interrogation so far in this regard. He also demanded that the Congress-led UPA government should apologise in public for installng Koda, an Independent, as chief minister of Jharkhand.
