MP’s house at Ferozshah Road from Singh’s Lodi Estate residence.

Said Jaitley: “These are direct evidences which can be corroborated by the statements of the MPs and members of the CNN-IBN team.”

“The most important aspect is the third phase when Sanjeev Saxena and another person reach the Ferozshah Road residence of Argal,” said Jaitley. “After delivering the cash, Saxena repeatedly calls Amar Singh from his mobile to facilitate a conversation of the MPs with him ... when the phone gets disconnected several times, Saxena dials on the landline of Amar Singh,” he added. Jaitley also lambasted the channel which conducted the sting operation but did not telecast it claiming the sting was inconclusive.

The letter was signed by Ashok Argal and Faggan Singh Kulaste. The third MP, Mahavir Bhagore, has been admitted in an Ahmedabad hospital for a bypass surgery.

Jaitley said the “fake” sting operation, CDs of which were released by Uma Bharati, had many “gaps” and was a “hit-wicket”. “The fact is that Sanjeev Saxena (who was reportedly untraceable after July 22), was available to Amar Singh till July 25 for play-acting in a fake CD,” he alleged.

“We are committed to take this case to its logical conclusion,” said Jaitley. The 17 pages are replete with transcripts of conversations of the lead players in the sting operation, suggesting that the party had a copy of the CD. The BJP, however, refused to answer any question on this.
