EXPERT VIEWS

"The smear campaign is still on...There is a notice against Arvind. Delhi Police have closed the investigations in the CD case saying the disc was genuine. There is also a privilege notice against Bedi. They are back to dirty tricks."

Prashant Bhushan
Lawyer, Team Anna
"India can be the investment destination and perform well if we (Opposition and the government)' work collectively and start an important legislation which ought to be enacted. The basic fundamentals still are strong. The export growth too is encouraging despite the global slowdown. However, the corporate sector investment has registered a decline."

Pranab Mukherjee
Finance Minister
"No irregularities were committed during my tenure. If someone deliberately digs out and alleges that there is irregularity then I am saddened."

Jaswant Singh
Senior BJP Leader
