New Delhi, Aug 28: Swami Agnivesh, regarded as one of the key members of Team Anna is in the centre of controversy now for his alleged video which has sparked off a row across the web community.
The video clip shows Swami Agnivesh betraying Team Anna, and telling union minister Kapil Sibal that Team Anna is a 'mad and misguided elephant'. He was allegedly favouring the government in the teleconference instead of defending Team Anna.
"Despite the government giving so many offers, why is he still not accepting it? The team is crossing the limits and trying to sit on the government's head, which is not tolerable," he said to Kapil Sibal, which was caught on camera.
But Swami Agnivesh has come out strongly against the allegation, and has said that the webclip is totally doctored. "I never had any such teleconference with Kapil Sibal. You can check my mobile number or even Kapil Sibal's number to confirm whether we really had any such phone calls. This is an effort to malign me, nothing else," he lashed.
"I never call anyone 'Maharaj', so how can I address Kapil as Kapil Maharaj, as shown in the video clip?" he questions.
In the clip, Agnivesh is allegedly heard expressing disappointment that he was not selected as a negotiator. But Agnivesh said, "I was just a member of Team Anna, and never wanted to be a negotiator."
