Manmohan Singh ‘did not need SC certificate’: Tharoor on posthumous clean chit by Supreme Court in coal block case
in5points
Supreme Court formally exonerated late ex-PM Manmohan Singh and quashed the 2015 trial order in the coal block case.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said Singh did not need a 'certificate of integrity' from the Supreme Court and called him the 'cleanest man in Indian politics'.
The Supreme Court quashed the 2015 summons order against Singh and five others, noting the CBI's closure reports found no material against him.
The coal block allocation case involved the Talabira-II coal block in Odisha allocated to Hindalco Industries in 2005, when Singh held the coal portfolio.
