Is the CD row Singhvi’s private affair?

GN Bureau | April 24, 2012



Abhishek Manu Singhvi has resigned as Congress spokesperson and head of a key parliamentary panel over the CD row. The much talked about CD allegedly has sexual acts involving Singhvi. The senior lawyer trashes the CD’s content as pure imagination. While the BJP has sought a forensic test of the CD, Singhvi says the matter in no way raises any public interest issue. And in case it discloses something, it is entirely a private matter and the only people who should be aggrieved are his family members.

All said, do you think people holding such key public posts should indulge in immoral acts? Don’t they need to project a clean image to maintain the dignity of their chair? And if they are caught being involved in such wicked acts, do you think these public figures are not answerable to people? As asserted, is it Singhvi’s private affair?
