When asked if any top Congress leader in Central government is "soft" on Modi and Shah and is instrumental in keeping them out of the CBI chargesheet, Sibal replied in the negative.
On the snooping controversy, Sibal said his government will appoint a judge to probe the incident before May 16.
When his attention is drawn to reports in media that some retired judges have declined to head the commission appointed by Centre to conduct inquiry into alleged snooping of a woman architect in Gujarat, Sibal said,"I do not believe in newspaper reports ... Why should I believe in newspaper reports?
On the issue of land dealings of Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra which the BJP has alleged to be dubious, Sibal said, "They are levelling these allegations for the last two years ... Let them conduct inquiry into the issue".
Interestingly, Sibal had earlier said Narendra Modi was a "potential accused" in the Tulsiram Prajapati murder case and sought interrogation by CBI. The BJP had rubbished his allegations then.
