Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is seriously considering the option of replacing Law Minister Ashwani Kumar, who has been under pressure to resign after the Central Bureau of Investigation told the Supreme Court that he not only saw the coal scam report but also suggested some changes in it.
Vahanvati, Ashwani Kumar and the two officials of the PMO and the Coal Ministry have been accused by the CBI in its affidavit of suggesting changes to its report on coalgate. Vahanvati, however, has sought to deflect charges against him, saying he never sought a copy of the report and that he acted as per the instructions of the Law Minister.
Earlier on Thursday, Ashwani and Attorney General GE Vahanvati met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, just a day after the Supreme Court came down heavily on the Government and the CBI for sharing the coal scam probe report. The Supreme Court had observed that the heart of the coal allocation report was changed, without mentioning the name of Ashwani Kumar.
