New Delhi: Unfazed by the privilege motion being brought against him in the Parliament, newly nominated Rajya Sabha MP and BJP member Subramanian Swamy today said that the Congress party had “lost it completely” and that he would teach them law.
Swamy’s comments came in reference to the privilege motion the Congress is planning to bring against him, claiming that the documents submitted to the Rajya Sabha secretariat in relation to the AgustaWestland chopper deal for authentication were “bogus.”
“They are irritated of me because I have cornered them in the National Herald case and I exposed them in Parliament. When the privilege motion comes, I will give them the documents,” Swamy said.
“First they said I didn’t authenticate the documents and today they are saying that the documents aren’t true,” he added.
The Congress on Thursday said it will move a privilege motion against Swamy and Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar “for misleading parliament and the nation on AgustaWestland deal”.
The Congress has said that both Swamy and Parrikar had been “lying blatantly and brazenly”.
“Swamy spoke against Congress president Sonia Gandhi and other party leaders in parliament and kept referring to a document which, according to him, was an Italian court’s judgment. In reality, the 13-page document consists of two pages of emails from Swamy to himself. Nine pages were downloaded from www.pgurus.com and the remaining two are part of a news story run by an Indian news channel,” said Congress leader Jairam Ramesh.

Ramesh said there was complete disconnect between the documents and what Swamy and Parrikar said in the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha respectively.
“Parrikar kept referring to the Italian court judgment but what he has authenticated is not the judgment. What he has authenticated are the minutes of the meeting taken by former National Security Adviser M K Narayanan to determine the specifications of the VVIP helicopters,” he said.
Referring to www.pgurus.com, Ramesh said the website is a joint venture of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ideologue Gurumurthy, former Indian Institute of Management professor Vaidynathan and Swamy.
“We will file a defamation suit against this website too,” Ramesh said.
He said there was no mention of any Congress leader’s name in any of the Italian court’s judgments.
