Jolting his own party in the run-up to the Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress MP from Jammu-Rajouri Madan Lal Sharma has alleged that two senior state party leaders, including Assembly Speaker Tara Chand, escaped arrest in the Srinagar sex scandal probe "only because of the intervention of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad".
Sharma made these allegations at Sunday’s public rally in Akhnoor. Though today he was disowning his own remarks, he told the gathering in Akhnoor that "he (Sharma) fell at the feet of Sonia Gandhi and Ghulam Nabi Azad" and "saved Tara Chand and (then Pradesh Congress Committee chief) Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed" from arrest. He even said these leaders should have been behind bars like Pappu Yadav. [link]
The story vanished from CNN-IBN home page faster that you can say "secular". No special shows either.
