Jana hits back at Sonia for BJP corruption remark

CHENNAI: Taking a dig at Congress President Sonia Gandhi, for her remarks that the BJP-led NDA government was ''neckdeep'' in corruption, Union Law Minister, Jana Krishnamoorthy has said ''those living in glass houses should not throw stones''.
"The party which was involved in Bofors gun deal has no locus standi to talk about other parties. Those living in glass houses should not throw stones at others," he said in an informal chat with newspersons at the airport on Saturday night.
Krishnamoorthy, who is here on a private visit, said there was ''no tussle'' between the Union government and the President, Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, over poll reforms ordinance."Ten days ago, the government had briefed the President on this matter," he said.
When his attention was drawn to the agitation by lawyers protesting against the amendments to civil procedure code, he said a team of lawyers met him in Delhi, when he had given adequate clarifications. "I do not know the situation prevailing in Tamil Nadu," he said.
