Title : Regarding clean-chit given by the High Court
to Late Shri Rajiv Gandhi in the Bofors Case.
SHRI SHIVRAJ V. PATIL (LATUR): Sir, I am requesting that
your inherent power may be used and I may be allowed to make a statement
today.
I am grateful to you for allowing me to make a statement.
In 1987, accusations were flung at the late Shri Rajiv Gandhi in Bofors
Case. He had said in the Parliament and outside that he and his family
members were innocent and not involved in the case, but for nearly 17 years,
he and his family members and the Congress Party were tortured in a most
despicable manner. Yesterday, the Delhi High Court has held that there
is not even an iota of evidence against him.
The truth has prevailed, the honour of the family is vindicated.
What injustice the accusers have done to him! How should they be treated
for what they have done to him? Let the justice loving people decide.
I am making this statement because the records of the
Parliament have the accusations made against him on several pages. Let
the final verdict given by Delhi High Court clearing Shri Rajiv Gandhi
form a part of the Parliament’s record, Sir. … (Interruptions)
SHRI SHIVAJI MANE (HINGOLI): What about Shri George Fernandes?
MR. SPEAKER: I now go to the Question Hour. All notices
for Adjournment Motion have been rejected by me.

chit. I congratulate him on this occasion. … (Interruptions)

SHRI V. DHANANJAYA KUMAR : The Congress party boycotted
hon. Shri George Fernandes on the floor of the House on the Tehelka
issue for a long time. … (Interruptions) Finally, Justice Phukan
Commission has cleared his name. We congratulate Shri George Fernandes.
… (Interruptions) The Opposition party must feel ashamed of its

SHRI PRIYA RANJAN DASMUNSI (RAIGANJ): Sir, that is only
an interim report, and that is not on Tehelka. … (Interruptions)
That did not deal with the video footage of Tehelka. … (Interruptions)
The House should not be misled. What the hon. Member is saying is not correct.

SHRI PAWAN KUMAR BANSAL : There is no reference to Tehelka
tapes there. What a comparison! … (Interruptions)
