Two questions Mr Karat. If the oil vouchers were ordinary business transactions why does the question of probing private companies come up? And if the oil vouchers were not so kosher — we are presuming you have changed your mind on that — then is the Volcker report no longer an imperialist conspiracy? It surely can’t be that the oil deals were sleazy when applied to private companies and perfectly honourable when related to Natwar and his family and associates. There may well be a case for expanding the Volcker findings probe. But there cannot be a more unconvincing advocate for it than Prakash Karat. He’s asking to see the dirty linen after handing out clean chits.
