Balkrishna
22 July 2012. Hours after the arrest of Balkrishna, yoga guru Ramdev alleged that the move was aimed at scaring him on the agitation he proposes to launch on 9 August 2012. He also said that this was an abuse of power by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). CBI arrested Balkrishna on Friday after a special court in New Delhi issued a non bailable warrant against him. Balkrishna is alleged to have fake degree certificate and false documents to get an Indian passport. Ramdev also claimed the degree produced by Balkrishna from Sampurnanand Sanskrit University of Varanisi was genuine. Earlier a false campaign was launched against Balkrishna concerning his Indian citizenship but a district magistrate in Nepal gave in writing that Balkrishna was not a citizen of Nepal, said Ramdev. Meanwhile, Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal said, “We will give the details of corruption charges against Mr Mukherjee on July 25.” He also said, “It is a sad fate that we have got a President the country does not have faith in.” Accusing the government of trying to discredit Team Anna, Kejriwal said, “A notice was sent to Kiran Bedi accusing her of corruption by them. The Delhi Police found nothing against her and the case against is being closed. Manish Sisodia is also under Income Tax department’s radar.”
