Srinagar, Jan 18: Former finance minister Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari while reacting to media reports wherein Azad has been quoted saying that some Congress leaders were being threatened to join Third Front or otherwise they well get implicated in some false cases challenged Ghulam Nabi Azad to prove his allegations against him or otherwise resign from his present position in Parliament on moral grounds.
He added that let me put it on record that I hold Azad Saheb in high esteem but it is very unfortunate that he has leveled baseless allegations against me and my colleagues stooping so low for doing petty politics.
Bukhari said that he neither holds any power nor is in any position to misuse State machinery or agencies, like has been the precedence in Congress, led regimes in the State.
