Twitterati today are trending #ManmohonestSingh a day after the verdict of the special court which has come as a big relief to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who earlier believed to be involved in the scam. The special court has awarded two-year imprisonment to three union coal ministry officials who held guilty in a coal block allocation case and also made “dishonest misrepresentation” of facts to the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The former Coal Secretary H C Gupta and two serving senior officials were awarded two years imprisonment.
HC Gupta has been hauled up for taking certain decisions between 2006 and 2009 when he served as the coal secretary and, in that capacity, as the presiding officer of the screening committee that recommended allocation of the coal blocks. Gupta and others have also been charged with misrepresenting facts to the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who was in charge of the coal ministry during a major part of this period.
So, today when former PM of India Manmohan Singh got clean chit his supporters overflowed their feelings on twitter and made twitter trend as #ManmohonestSingh.
