Shimla, August 6: In case the government does not register an FIR and order CBI investigation into the birthday bash of former minister G.S. Bali to the CBI, the BJP would seek intervention of the High Court to ensure action against the guilty.
Addressing a press conference here today, Satpal Jain, in charge of BJP affairs in Himachal, said though the option of moving the High Court on the Bali episode was open, the party would like to follow the normal course of law. ...
...Jain expressed surprise that so far no action had been taken even by the central leadership of the Congress against Bali for the immoral act, which was telecast nationwide, by a television channel. "Is the Congress high command, including AICC chief Sonia Gandhi keen to hush up the matter as they have been completely silent on the issue," he quipped. ...
Ready for early poll

Satpal Jain said it appeared the three MLAs had moved court so that the Congress gets political mileage but the BJP would not allow that. "When their own party is in power there was no need for the three MLAs from Kinnaur, Lahaul-Spiti and Bharmour to move court as the Chief Minister can recommend the holding of early elections to the Election Commission of India," he remarked. ...
