India's anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare demands probe against PM and 14 ministers...

Team Anna on Saturday demanded probe into allegations of corruption charges against 15 cabinet ministers, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Team Anna raised the demand after releasing a report on corruption charges against the ministers and the prime minister. The report accuses the Prime Minister based on a draft Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report which indicated that the allocation of coal blocks to companies without auction by the coal ministry, which was under the PM's responsibility during the period between 2004 and 2009, had caused the exchequer a loss of Rs 10.6 lakh crores.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee also faces charges for not taking action against people who allegedly took kickbacks in the Rs 180 billion (18,000 crore rupees) Scorpene deal and those involved in the Navy war room leak.

Besides the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister, Team Anna has demanded investigation against ministers including Home Minister P Chidambaram, Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal and External Affairs Minister SM Krishna. Full story...
