I will answer all allegations in Parliament: Natwar Tuesday, November 8 2005 16:13 Hrs (IST) - World Time -
New Delhi:
A day after he was relieved of the External Affairs portfolio, Union Minister K Natwar Singh today (Nov 8, 2005) said he was not a 'coward' and would answer all allegations against him in Parliament.
A defiant minister, addressing supporters who came from several parts of Rajasthan at his official residence, rubbished all the charges levelled against him in the Volcker report on Iraqi oil-for-food scam and he was happy that a probe had been instituted into it.
"Can you believe that the Congress party, which has produced several great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Rajendra Prasad, can sell oil for money? "I am just a loyal member of the big party. If somebody levels this kind of allegations, they should be ashamed of themselves," Singh said.
