Governor orders probe into BJP worker’s murder

Srinagar, May 09: Governor Satya Pal Malik Thursday said former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was initially not corrupt but under the influence of some people, he got involved in the Bofors corruption case.

He was reacting to rebel BJP leader Ajay Agarawal releasing a 76-second audio clip in which Malik told the Supreme Court lawyer that Gandhi was not corrupt.

“Rajiv basically bhrast nahi tha aur yeh mujhe Arun Nehru ne bhi kaha ki AICC se jo kharcha milta tha un dinon, jab yeh ghumtey phirte thay, toh yeh ghair-zaruri kharcha bhi nahi leta tha. Arun Nehru ka yeh kehna tha (Rajiv was not corrupt. In those days when they received money from AICC for their travel, he never took anything unnecessary. This was told to me by Arun Nehru),” he is heard saying in the clip.

The Governor Thursday said, “Initially, he (Rajiv Gandhi) was not corrupt but later under the influence of some people, who I will not name, he got involved in the Bofors corruption case.”

Malik said he and PDP founder Mufti Mohammad Sayeed quit the Rajya Sabha in the wake of the Bofors corruption case and formed the Jan Morcha.

“All this means that we accepted that Rajiv Gandhi was involved in the Bofors scandal. Initially, he was good but then he came under influence of people and ultimately he was responsible for Bofors (scam),” Malik told reporters after inaugurating traffic grade separator here.

Asked if it was right to bring in Rajiv Gandhi’s name in the election campaign, Malik defended the BJP, saying if Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru can be mentioned in the elections, Rajiv Gandhi can also be mentioned.

“When Rajiv’s son calls you ‘chor’ (thief), won’t you tell him who he is and what is his legacy?” he added.
