Tehelka exposure tip of the iceberg, says Moopanar

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, MARCH 19. The TMC president, Mr. G. K. Moopanar, today charged that the BJP- led Government at the Centre was trying to continue in office by ordering a judicial probe and daring the Opposition to move a vote of no-confidence against it.

``But the patriotic citizens of the country do not want the BJP- led Government to continue even a minute longer,'' Mr. Moopanar said in a statement today.

Stating that the website Tehelka's expose of the scandals in arms purchases was only the ``tip of the iceberg'', he charged that the BJP Government was the ``root cause of the anti- national act'' of compromising national security.

The world was shocked by the exhibition of ``brazen corruption'' in defence deals in the country, and the resignation of a few Ministers would not mitigate the impact of these scandals, he said.
