Senior Advocate Prashant Bhushan calls for SIT probe into Electoral Bond controversy

To empirically establish the money trail and also the suspected quid-pro-quo between the corporate and the political parties, “there should be an independent probe by an SIT, composed of experts”.  He said, “Only such an investigation can substantially  establish our legitimate doubt about companies paying to political parties to get their jobs done in terms of policy, contract and otherwise.”      

Bhshan said, “After doing a preliminary analysis of the data now available in public domain, it has been revealed that BJP received Rs 1,751 crore in donation through electoral bonds from various companies and in turn those companies got government contracts worth Rs 62,000 crore.”

He also alleged that the total number of firms, which were raided and in turn they donated to the BJP, is 104 and out of which 30 are identified as shell companies.
