Shanti Bhushan Lands in Fresh Controversy


New Delhi, Apr 20 (PTI) A fresh controversy involving anti-corruption campaigner Shanti Bhushan broke out today over allotment of priced farmhouse plots to him and his son Jayant in nearby Noida and demands have cropped for the lawyer's resignation from the joint committee to draft the Lokpal Bill.

Congress and Samajwadi Party questioned the allotment of farmhouses to Bhushans and suggested that Shanti Bhushan should withdraw himself from the Joint Committee to draft Lokpal Bill.

The controversy arose after reports were published today that the Bhushans has been allotted 10,000 sq metre plots valued at Rs 3.5 crore each to them by the UP government in 2009.

Both the Bhushans were quoted in a newspaper that there was no transparency in the scheme and allotments were made without any clear criterion.

    It is a sinister design by Congress & Samajawadi who are scared of enactment of the Lokpal bill and are out to scuttle the efforts of the Civil society.
