FACT: "I received calls from Amar Singh and Ahmed Patel (Political Secretary to Congress President Sonia Gandhi). Those close to Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) called me and even from 10-Janpath (Gandhi's residence)," claimed Suhail Hindustani, alleged to have acted as a liaison between Amar Singh and BJP MPs in the cash-for-vote scam during the 2008 trust vote in Lok Sabha, to reporters before being questioned by Delhi police's crime branch officials probing the case. "I challenge them. These people tried to bribe me. They asked me why are you aligned with BJP? Is your life going haywire? Come, align with us and we will give you some big posts like chairmanship. They told me that if you get one MP, we will give you Rs 5-10 crore as commission," he alleged. The questioning of Hindustani came a few days after Amar Singh's former aide Sanjeev Saxena was arrested by Delhi Police. Saxena is alleged to have tried to bribe BJP MPs Ashok Argal, Mahavir Bhagora and Faggan Singh Kulaste into voting for the Manmohan Singh government in the 2008 trial of strength over the Indo-US nuclear deal. Bags filled with currency notes were shown in the Lok Sabha on July 22, 2008, minutes before a trust vote was to take place. (July 20, 2011)
