DK Shivakumar claimed he has done no wrong, faced a lot of troubles!?
Accordingly karnataka Deputy chief minister D K Shivakumar on wednesday claimed that he has done no wrong, and did only the party work, for which he has data-faced a lot of troubles. The state congress president’s comments were in the context of proceedings in karnataka high court, in connection with the CBI’s investigation in a disproportionate assets (DA) case against him. “I don’t know anything….I don’t know what has happened in the court, it won’t be right on my part to comment without knowing….my lawyers will have to inform me, without that I cannot comment as it is a court matter, and according to me staying away from court matter is good,” Shivakumar told reporters in response to a question on the proceedings in the High Court.On bjp leader and mla Basanagouda Patil Yatnal filing an intervening application challenging the withdrawal by the state government of the consent for the cbi probe in the DA case, he said, “Let anyone do anything…I know who has said or commented what, and have observed them with utmost humility. I will respond to them at the right time, not now.” The high court today allowed Shivakumar to withdraw the appeal filed by him challenging a single judge’s order refusing to quash a government sanction to the cbi to prosecute him in the assets case.The previous bjp government had granted sanction to the cbi to prosecute Shivakumar, following which an FIR was lodged against him and an investigation undertaken on alleged charges of disproportionate assets. Shivakumar withdrew the appeal after the current karnataka cabinet, headed by chief minister Siddaramaiah on november 23, held that the previous bjp government’s move to give consent to the cbi to investigate the DA case against Shivakumar was not in accordance with law and decided to withdraw the sanction. Subsequently, a government Order was issued in this regard.
