New Delhi: After questions were raised over his claim, Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh on Monday promised to release proof of his telephonic conversation with slain ATS chief Hemant Karkare hours before he was killed in
Mumbai terror attacks.
Singh has called a press conference in New Delhi on Tuesday saying he would release the record of the phone call Karkare made to him on that fateful day.
"Despite the fact that the BSNL does not keep a record of telephone calls for more than a year, I have got the record after I talked to some concerned people and I will be showing it to you tomorrow", Singh told reporters at the AICC
headquarters.
When asked as to why he has called the press conference at a different venue than the Congress headquarters, he said that this was because the party was not involved in the matter.
Last month, Digvijay had created a flutter by claiming that that Karkare had spoken about threats from right-wing groups during a telephonic conversation with him hours before he was killed.
He, however, subsequently clarified that he never doubted the role of Pakistani elements in the Mumbai attacks.
Congress had then distanced itself from Digvijay's statement, saying the matter was "a conversation between two individuals".
Raising doubts over his claims, Maharashtra Home minister RR Patil had then said there was no existence of any record of the purported telephonic conversation between the Congress leader and Karkare.
