Bhuban dares govt to probe graft charges

By Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, July 29 � Independent MLA from Jonai Bhuban Pegu today alleged that a section of the electronic media has been launching a vilification campaign to tarnish his image.

The MLA said in a press statement here that in a bid to silence him, a particular TV channel has been trying to tarnish his image by dragging his name into a scandal involving public money worth Rs 24 crore.

The MLA said that since he has been vociferous against the failures and corruption of the present State Government, the TV channel owned by a Minister has now been trying to vilify him in order to silence his voice of dissent.

He dared the Government to institute an enquiry against his alleged involvement in the cases of embezzlement of public money through a High Court Judge, or else, he warned, he would move the court against the TV channel with a libel suit.
