New Delhi: While Minority Affairs Minister AR Antulay sent his resignation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, he has also reiterated his demand for a probe into the death of the Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Hemant Karkare Hemant’s death.
“I have said what was their in the minds of lots of people,” he said speaking with reporters outside Parliament.
Sources say his resignation has not been accepted yet. Antulay too let the ambiguity remain. “I am a soldier of the party, if it’s in the interest of the party then I will resign. Party doesn't have to tell me to resign,“ he said.
He also said maintained that a lot of things are swept under the carpet. “Media has twisted what I have said ,” he said,
Meanwhile, RJD chief and Railway Minister Lalu Prasad said it was an "established fact" that the former Maharashtra ATS chief was killed by terrorists from Pakistan.
"It is an established fact that terrorists from Pakistan killed all those who were killed in Mumbai, including Karkare," Prasad told reporters outside Parliament when asked to comment on Antulay's remarks raising questions over the issue.
Lalu said Antulay had "probably" said there should be an inquiry to ascertain who sent Karkare to Cama hospital where he was killed.
Lalu, who apparently did not want to get into the issue related to Antulay's comments, refused to speak further saying he would leave it to Antulay to explain.
