Here is Congress-man (pun intended) Mr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi's
resignation letter... with some minor additions and major
simplifications.
I have decided to resign as Chairman, Parliamentary Standing
Committee on Law, Justice. Personnel and Grievances and have informed
the Hon’ble Congress President accordingly.
I have also decided not to brief the press.
(But will
ensure that this letter goes public)
I have done this only to prevent even the slightest possible
Parliamentary disruption
(disturbance) regarding the purported
(alleged) CDs being circulated about me. Since I am a
disciplined party soldier, I did not think it fit to subject the
party to any inconvenience on this account. All allegations are
patently
(evidently) baseless and false.
I wish to categorically
(unconditionally, without conditions)
state that canards
(a false derogatory story) and baseless
allegations are being spread about alleged inappropriate conversation
in the CD. People inimically
(harmfully, unfavorably) opposed
to me, who have assiduously
(constantly) spent over 10 days
hearing, seeing, amplifying
(increasing, enlarging) and
distilling
(extracting components) the CD have found no
vestige
(a slight trace) of any reference, not even remotely,
to any illegality, corrupt practice, or wrongdoing.
Specifically, some sections of the print and visual media are
spreading a falsehood simply by repetition and hearsay
(unverified)
that there is reference in the CD to the promise of any post. No
one has heard any such reference in the CD.
There is none simply because it does not exist. It is pure
imagination, wishful thinking and sensationalism
(designed to
please vulgar taste).
The canard
(strike 2) was spread simply to give the issue a
public interest flavour since otherwise the contents of the CD,
assuming them to be true (which they certainly are not), would
disclose only something private and consensual giving a cause of
action only to aggrieved
(disturbed) family members (who have
stood completely by me) and to no one else.
It is lamentable that such canards
(strike 3!! you are out!)
are being spread about a CD which has, in fact, been accepted
thrice over to be fabricated and morphed. The driver’s disclosure
statement to the police, his detailed written statement (ie written
pleading) in the High Court and his oral statement recorded on oath
physically in the presence of the judge, all explain how and why he
created this fabrication.
A reputed media house which was co-defendant in the suit also
recorded a consent statement based on the statement of the author of
the CD ie the driver. A final permanent
(final AND permanent!
Wow!) decree
(order) of injunction has been
passed over five days ago.
It is noteworthy that the the driver’s threatening and
blackmailing SMSes sent to my phone (including therein references to
a potential CD) had been recorded in the last week of March itself
(later extracted by the police), followed by a detailed four-page
police complaint filed as far back as 29/3/12, i.e a full 13 days
before the alleged CDs first surfaced in the media.
Either the CD is morphed or it is not
(Mr. Singhvi claims
that the contents are certainly not true, the driver has accepted
thrice that the cd is fabricated and morphed, yet this statement!).
In either event it raises no public interest issue, yet evokes
salacious
(obscene, indecent) private and prurient
(causing
lust) interest and contumacious
(stubbornly disobedient)
internet violation of a flagrant
(obvious, glowing, scandalous)
kind. As a political or a professional class, instead of gleefully
(merrily, delightedly) watching, promoting or participating in
a person’s natural and understandable discomfiture
(embarrassment,
confusion), we must respect privacy issues.
Dear Mr. Singhvi,
Dictionaries are quite easily available
and accessible these days. So the next time you feel like writing a letter in a
language that no one understands...
Don't..
