DMK president M. Karunanidhi on Friday objected to the remarks of Bhavani Singh, Special Public Prosecutor in the disproportionate assets case against the former Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, saying that through his conduct, he had confused everyone.
Mr. Bhavani Singh had said that while the DMK had accused him of favouring the AIADMK, Ms. Jayalalithaa’s lawyer. Ram Jethmalani, had told the court that he belonged to the DMK. “What is the credit for the work I have done so far,” he had asked.
Mr. Karunanidhi said Mr. Bhavani Singh had submitted in writing in the morning that Ms. Jayalalithaa should not be granted bail, but changed his stand in the evening, agreeing to free her on conditional bail. His conduct had forced the Karanataka government to remove him as public prosecutor, and he was allowed to remain in the post after AIADMK men approached the Supreme Court.
“The judge of the Special Court also imposed a fine on him for not attending the court regularly,” Mr. Karunanidhi said.
