With the attention of the country rivetted to the happenings at Ambedkar stadium,Ram Jethmalani,senior lawyer and BJP man came to share stage space with Baba Ramdev at the virtual end of the protest. He praised Ramdev for his battle of taking the protest to the people's court to solve some of India's intractable problems including corruption. In a controversial remark,he accused Congress scion Rahul Gandhi of being corrupt. "Many in government have black money stashed abroad. One of them is Rahul Gandhi," he said. He went on to challenge Gandhi by saying,"Sue me if you want!". Jethmalani says he supports Ramdev movement to eradicate corruption: "Ramdev is my partner in hunting for people involved in black money and corruption." Egged on by the controversial Ram Jethmalani,Ramdev said he could have stopped PM Manmohan Singh from unfurling the national flag tomorrow on occasion of Independence day. Ramdev thereafter announced that he is ending his fast. No substance in Jethmalani's allegations against Rahul: Shukla Union Minister Rajiv Shukla today dismissed BJP MP Ram Jethmalani's allegations that Rahul Gandhi's name figured in the list of those who have stashed away money abroad. "I don't think he has got any substance in his statement. I thoroughly condemn it," he told reporters outside Parliament House. The Minister said Jethmalani's statement should not be taken seriously as "he is one who keeps on accusing or making any statement against everyone." "I don't think Jethmalani's statement should be taken seriously because he is the same Jethmalani who on the floor of the House and outside had spoken against BJP terming it as the most corrupt party after independence. "He had accused Vajpayee government of being the most corrupt government. So he is the same Jethmalani. .I don't think the statement should be taken in a serious manner," Shukla said.
