Kabil Sibal Now Disowns Tejpal !!! can I have anything to do with a crime or offence committed by an individual running the firm? I helped Tehelka with a donation because at the time .. Intimacy with Congress has landed Tejpal and shoma into this MESS!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------ No idea how I’m on list of Tehelka shareholders: Kapil Sibal TNN | Nov 29, 2013, 03.15 AM IST NEW DELHI: Law minister Kapil Sibal has maintained that no Tehelka shares were allotted to him and argued that the issue in any case was not germane to the current controversy surrounding the magazines editor Tarun Tejpal. Sibal said, I dont understand why the question about shares is being asked. Even if I did own shares in a company, can I have anything to do with a crime or offence committed by an individual running the firm? The law minister had on Wednesday responded to leader of opposition Sushma Swarajs tweet about a Union minister shielding Tejpal by saying that she not make tangential references. He hit back asking whether he should release photos of Swaraj with the controversial mining barons of Bellary. On Thursday, Sibal reiterated that he had not applied for or had been allotted any Tehelka shares irrespective of what the magazines books showed. I helped Tehelka with a donation because at the time they (the magazine) had lost everything due a vindictive BJP government getting after them. Instead of being lauded for supporting freedom of the press, I am being quizzed, Sibal said. He said several persons had donated to Tehelka when the outfit was facing an Official Secrets Act case, a commission of inquiry and was hounded for exposing top NDA leaders. timesofindia.indiatimes/india/No-idea-how-Im-on-list-of-Tehelka-shareholders-Kapil-Sibal/articleshow/26544275.cms
