Kejrival presented more proofs against Khurshid

Arvind Kejrival on Monday(15 ,OCT) presented more proofs against Khurshid and his trust.The trust is accused of fraud in funds meant for physically challenged people granted to it by Union Social Welfare and Empowerment Ministry.
Earlier on Sunday, Khurshid showed photos of camps organised by his NGO for distribution of hearing aids and wheel chairs to physically challenged people in his defense. (see here for past events) .

Kejriwal rubbished Khurshid's defence .He alleged that Khurshid misled the nation by showing wrong pictures of physically challenged people .
Khrjrival's Proof

• He brought with him some of those physically challenged people whose names were in the list of receiver {who received equipment(chairs,aids etc) }but in reality they didn't got any equipment or aid!
• Moreover, the beneficiaries listed as physically challenged were found to be physically able. He said many of the beneficiaries never attended any camp as claimed by Khurshid.
• He for live proof presented Pankaj from Mainpuri district of Uttar Pradesh whose name was in the khurshid's list of deaf provided with hearing aid but Pankaj claimed that he is not deaf instead he has problem in his leg ! He also revealed that he was provided neither hearing aid nor 'Baisakhi'
• As another proof presented an activist,Vivek Yadav from Mainpuri who revealed  that a beneficiary, Santosh Kumari, was supposedly given a wheel chair as per the NGO's claim. However, in the village mentioned in the list no such person existed.
• He also presented Dayaram, who was claimed to be a handicapped, but he never underwent any eye surgery as mentioned in the NGO's list under the quota for disabled people.
• He also said that photos that Khurshid presented do not come under the time frame as  they are taken after the period under scrutiny.

Alleging a nexus between the Samajwadi Party government of UP and Khurshid, Kejriwal said a fair investigation promised by the state government was unlikely.

A body of physically challenged people has now sought time from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to present the facts about the trust headed by the central minister and his wife Louise Khurshid.

Khejrival's protest against Khurshid's NGO: Complete Report (OCT 14)

BACKGROUND
Arvind Kejriwal and activists of  Rashtriya Vikalang Party (RVP)  on Friday were marching towards the Prime Minister’s Race Course residence demanding resignation and arrest of Union Minister Salman Khurshid over allegations of irregularities by an NGO run by him. They were stopped and  detained when they refused to disperse.They staged a sit-in and Arvind Kejriwal  announced an indefinite agitation.Protest and march was organised by Rashtriya Vikalang Party (RVP) and Khejrival was invited as guest.

Allegation
Team is protesting over financial irregularities in NGO of Law Minister Salman Khurshid(name of NGO is Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust) that are indicated in the report of CAG(Comptroller and Auditor General ).
KK Dikshit( president of Rashtriya Viklang Party (RVP) alleged that Khurshid's NGO siphoned off funds meant for the disabled. 

According to the report of  report of CAG  the Union Social Welfare and Empowerment Ministry had granted Rs 71.50 lakh to the Khurshids' NGO for distributing tricycles and hearing aids to the disabled in 17 districts of Uttar Pradesh. Report states that grant wasn't fully utilised,with the trust giving out wrong information.The draft report also suspects fraud in the accounts of Mr Khurshid's trust. 

Salman Khurshid is the president of the trust, his wife Louise  Khurshid is the project director. 

IN DEFENSEKhurshid's wife in defense have said that Khejrival is listing only three people who did not get tricycles and hearing aids. She said if they had done fraud on a mass scale than there would be thousand of people(who did not get the equipment/aids) but there are just three allegations out of the thousands.

Khurshid later today after returning from London held a press conference showing pictures of 34  camps held by his NGO in 2009 and 2010 across several districts in UP as proof that allegations against him are baseless

They also filed a civil defamation case in the Delhi High Court against the TV Today Group(Aaj tak) which also questioned the fraud .

Khejrival however  question all the proof that Khurshid put in press conference saying" the photos he showed today do not come under the time frame. We will bring out more evidence tomorrow(Monday,Oct,15),"  

Political Poles
-Government as usual defended Khurshid saying it a "stunt for cheap publicity."|We want to ask that is CAG's report is also a stunt for cheap publiciy|
-While opposition used the opportunity to corner a government
