Snoopgate: Gujarat government acted in discriminatory manner says Pradeep Sharma

Refuting all allegations, Sharma said “The State Government in the reply affidavit does not make any clear unambiguous averment denying the veracity of the tapes.  

“Modi too interestingly has chosen to remain silent. He has not filed any affidavit in response to the petition denying his liaison with the lady architect or denying the veracity of the transcripts,” Sharma said.  

“It is unprecedented for any State Government to level such allegations, of a personal nature, which have no relevance or bearing with the lies in question, against Sharma in a matter before this Court,” the rejoinder affidavit said.  

He contended that the State Government has deliberately concealed the fact that Welspun, which is closely associated with Modi was indeed engaged in ‘criminal' and ‘anti-national' activities.

“With regards to the alleged mobile conversations of Sharma with several married women, as alleged in the reply affidavit, it is respectfully submitted that the transcripts of the mobile conversations have not been delivered to him and in absence thereof, he is unable to respond effectively,” Sharma said.
