After mole, now Kandahar haunts Jaswant

New Delhi: After the 'mole' issue, Congress on Thursday again trained their guns on senior BJP leader Jaswant Singh for his role in the Kandahar hijacking crisis demanding a joint parliamentary committee probe on whether $200 million were paid as ransom for the release of 166 passengers.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour in Lok Sabha, Madhusudan Mistry referred to revelations made by Singh in his controversial book A Call to Honour on the hijacking of an Indian Airlines plane in December 1999 from Kathmandu to Kandahar in Afghanistan.
In the book, Singh has contended that the Union Cabinet had then rejected the ransom demanded by the hijackers. In view of this decision, why did Singh fly to Kandahar with three terrorists who were freed in exchange for the passengers? Mistry asked.
"What was in the red bag carried by Singh?" he asked.
