During a press conference in the city, Advocate Prashant Bhushan and transparency rights activist Anjali Bharadwaj stated their plan to petition the Supreme Court once more. They aim to request the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate those accountable for what they deem as the nation’s “largest scam” following the electoral bond judgment.
“The data released shows us that CBI and ED officials were involved in making companies donate crores to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),” Bhushan said. “A court-monitored SIT is needed to identify all involved in this conspiracy to give and take bribes and to award contracts. Those involved include people from various companies, political parties, from the government who made policy changes (for the companies) or who awarded contracts, and also individuals from CBI and ED, and the drug controller office,” Bhushan called for an SIT headed by a retired Supreme Court judge and a retired CBI official known for their integrity.
