IAC to go to Farrukhabad with more evidences against Khurshid on 1 November
20 Oct 2012
A day after law minister Salman Khurshid challenged anti-corruption activist Arvind Kejriwal to visit his constituency Farrukhabad and return safely, India Against Corruption (IAC) activists today said it would be coming out with more documentary evidence against the Congress leader on 1 November at Farrukhabad in Uttar Pradesh.
The IAC today said activists led by Arvind Kejriwal would hold a demonstration in Farrukhabad, the parliamentary constituency of Khurshid. They said they would be putting out a 'real' list of beneficiaries from the Dr Zakir Hussain Trust, managed by the law minister and his family.
The move also comes after Khurshid's wife Louise Khurshid filed a defamation suit against the media group Headlines Today and Aaj Tak and 13 others for broadcasting a programme alleging a charitable trust run by the Khurshids was corrupt.
The trust has been in the centre of a storm over allegations of graft.
"We have a verified list of disabled people who got equipment in 17 camps that the minister claims were held under the aegis of the trust run by him. We have something to reveal on that too, and we will expose him," said an IAC activist.
Sanjay Singh, a senior member of the IAC said they would be putting out a fresh list of beneficiaries of the trust and that they would hold a rally on 1 November at Farrukhabad.
