What a pity. An ace lawyer ending his career on such a note. If only he'd done the act in a safe place and not in a court premise. Moreover, discussing professional favour to a woman in return to sexual favour and that got him.

Twitter Facebook etc kept the pressure on govt and media. Social media showing its strenght.

Singhvi was probably most articulate spokesperson for Congress. Now we all have to bear Tiwaris and Renuka choudharis of the worlds.

There are really bad days for congress. But at least in one area, they can claim that they are doing something that some BJP leaders admire :-)

 ok finally he himself confessed to all wrong-doings, will the court lift the ban and allow the CD to be played at major theaters all across country, R rating is fine?

so the lesson learnt from this, congress is going down to dogs. congress was a safe heaven for all anti-national activities, corruption, immorality. as their true color is showing, they might want to close the shop all together for the betterment of the nation.

>> ""People inimically opposed to me, who have assiduously spent over ten days hearing, seeing, amplifying and distilling the CD found no vestige of any reference, not even remotely, to any illegality, corrupt practice or wrongdoing." - Abhsihek Singhvi

Try explaining that to your wife and kids!!

Some bewildering questions remain unanswered :

1. Congress has abandoned their stalwart without a fight .Why ?

2.Quid pro qo for a High Court Post is hinted on TV .

This is dangerous and horrible and should have been investigated long back as it is being said on TV that this CD was circulating for a the last month .
Govt should immediately get the air cleared by investigations by CBI .

3. Why the Driver has not been arrested so far when he is spreading morphed CD ,has admitted so before the Court ?

Arrest the driver quickly as it is no more matter between two individuals .Let some independent Lab like Chandigarh Lab investigate the CD.

I have not seen the CD nor intend to .But since a Parliamentarian of Sighvi stature and who has been holding very Senior Parliamentarian positions this matter and these accusations should not be let go without going at the bottom and find what is the truth ?

Can Parliamentarian be allowed to be humiliated this way ? Though Singhvi's own record and Congress' record in treating the Parliamentarians of the Opposition like Karnatka and Gujarat MLAs is exteremly very degrading .Hence now the BJP has hit back .

But this CD is beyond those as posts are being offered for favours .I believe this whole CD is concocted but will not accept on the strength of Singhvi and Driver's say .Both are under the dark cloud .

An independent investigation can only clear the air.
That much at least the Rulers owe to the Nation.

Whosoever is guilty driver or Singhvi or both then let them face consequences of their betrayal .

 ......All allegations are patently baseless and false

What about the actions on the CD which are also "base" less. 

would disclose only something private and consensual giving a cause of action only to aggrieved family members

I think the key word here is consensual. In other words, if you beat the hell out of Singhvi, his argument will be that they were just doing it because they agreed to do so.

Of all the leaders of congress I probably did admire Abhishek Manu Singhvi. He was learned, articulate and very good at his job.
And well I did see the video and its him. Shame on him for indulging in such acts inside his office, inspite of being a person of such high stature.
More ludicrous is the premise he is presenting at the court for this alleged act his driver-The driver wanted to seek revenge from Abhishek as his dog bit the driver's wife and hence the wife gave birth to a physically challenged son.
And after all this an opaque out of court settlement with the driver! Such shenanigans would have even made the uninterested junta who acknlowledge and condone such practices amongst the high and mighty.

But now whatever he does is  immaterial. For his stupidity, the democratic social media has punished him and punished him hard . I can only wish him best of luck for future.

Contradictory statements coming from Singhvi - CD is morphed and right to privacy.

Tehelka has done many stings on opposition and now defending Singhvi and very vocal about the right to privacy. The three tv news channels NDTV,CNN-IBN,TimesNow cleverly avoided the most important fact that it happend in court premise, and the conversation cleary on the tape is about some post as a judge, which Sighvi promised the lawyer. In all the three channels the mood was very sad and sympathetic as if Singhvi was a victim of social media. While on other ocassions like K'taka MLAs porn watching, and some Godmen sex scandal in Gujarat was quickly linked to Modi with BREAKING NEWS. Or, the excitement of alleged hate speech of Varun Gandhi - hyper excited media wouldn't stop. Clearly, they are off colour this time round.

Yes. It is so unfortunate. 

The fun of the Indian duplicity and moral pretense is that most of us would embrace infidelity at the first opportunity. But, with great powers and public visage, the responsibilities increase manifold. Shame that Mr. Singhvi ignored this simple adage.

The CD controversy has claimed a seedy congressman. It is just not enough for Abhishek Manu Singvi tpo now say that the matter is cloaed as he has resigned. He contiues to be a member of the Rajya Sabha and he must resign from that august house in order to protect the reputation of the house. He has said certain things which have been recorded in the CD and they must be probed in order to determine the veracity of the "blackmail" theory which is now beng floated.

Clip can be seen on the net very easily. It is  not morphed , period! The scene takes place inside a lawyers office against glass encased book cases. Camera is positioned low shooting upwards. So few to begin with ,you can virtually count the male lead's hair on his head. . I guess some lawyers spell the word as liars.

When Bhushans suffered a CD row, Congress was in great smiles and celebrations. When the same tragedy hit it, it is like a thief stung by a scropion while stealing. Congress revels in the mental suffering of others. The trgedy to srike congress is yet to come.

Narendra Modi: I am not guilty for Gujarat carnage and hence i will not resign.

Singhvi: I am not guilty (with 1000 blah blah...) and I RESIGN (to protect he blah blah blah....)

The BJP MLAs in Ktaka RESIGNED from Assembly. ABM will NOT resign from Rajya Sabha..And Congress calls BJP Hypocrite!

Read the sarcastic news in http://www.fakingnews.com/2012/04/cag-calculates-300-crores-loss-due-to-abhishek-manu-singhvi-porn-cd/

I haven't seen the CD myself, but if people enjoying the public position and power as that of  Abhishek Manu Singhvi, and he had really engaged in the ziggi-ziggi act with fellow female lawyer in his chamber located within the court premises, then there is only one solution for them.

Chop their dicks, fix it on a chopstick and sale these to chinese market.

As we we heard in our childhood, "hathi nikal gaya, par poonch atak gayi" (Elephant passed, but tail got stuck).
That is the case with Singhvi.
A person with numerous conflict of interest, defending opposite parties in court, while in govt.
One he was accused of going to fight a case in Bangalore while Parliament was in session.
A guy who blatantly back-stab the nation with his Jokepal bill.

Nothing harmed him.
But an insignificant video.

Alright, guilty as charged, I just saw the video on Youtube.
Curiosity killed the cat.
Let me save your 10 minutes. All you see is his bald head is going up and down at the bottom of the frame. Rest of it is just wall.
(It confused me though. It is usually woman who goes up-down; man is usually forward and backward. But again, I don't know everything).

I still don't think he need to resign for this video.
His private thing.

Kindly add Hindusthan Times and Vinod Mehta also.  NDTV cleverly avoided discussion on social media attacking channels and newspapers  for their silence.  More than Congress, these channels will miss AM Singhvi.

Problem in nut shell is that Singhvi was conducting the Practical Test for the Recruitment of the Senior Post was extra curricular and not within the laid down syllabus.

Singvi denies any practical Test done .But what the Applicant says any information ?

Such a flood of comments on Singhvi's "privacy & consensual". Why? Perhaps because he had been so rabid and unethical in his comments denouncing the civil society and politicians  in such untrue words that he had gained such unmatched heights in this particular professional job that when his time came to be defended equally stoutly nobody came forward to say a single word in his defence. The moral of the story: NEVER SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL FOR POLITICAL GAINS. Don't ever jettison all moral principles for personal gains, for the invisible system of poetic justice can always catch you in your weakest moments totally unawares on laughable grounds. What is all this about? Something out of legitimate relationship? Who is offended first? His immediate partner, if it is not his first venture. But the act of the driver suggests that it is more than one venture- the fellow has more than one CDs. Let the nation note that corruption takes place when the boss shares drinks with his/her personal staff of the lowest category in the company of charming glamorous youthful beauties.The role of a driver is not only crucial but critical also in such escaped. It is indeed a big price for a small bungling! Best would be for him to take "sanyas" from politics.

We must remember the stand of Congress and its boot lickers on funded Thelka Tapes on Bhangaru Laxaman,George Fernadez etc .That Congress funded Tapes hurt our Defence preparedness so badly that till this day Armament procurements are suffering very badly due the after effects of the fraud perpetrated by Thelka as decision makers just want to while away time and retire without taking any risks.This is the highest treason done by Thelka and its backers as no Armaments were being purchased.Look where Pakistan and China are today in Defence preparedness.

But today the Congress is mum .

Consensual sex between two adults can be ignored but there is a very serious problem in this case as the position of the judge was offered to the lady .

Hence there is no question of ignoring the CD and believing that unbelievable & laughable concocted story of the Driver's wife bitten by Singvi's dog .

We must go to the bottom of the CD otherwise there will be serious question marks on the selection procedures of the highest posts and senior positions in future.

Incidentally in spite of shouting in the gallery BJP has has buried the case and did not raise the matter in the Parliament.

Since Singhvi and Congress both say the CD is tutored where is the harm getting it examined by some reputed Labs but not our obliging CFSLs which give the desired reports.

This one act will go along way to establish the credibility of the Selection systems for senior posts.

Since the case is before the High Court we pray to the learned Judges to su- motto order investigations under their supervision as many vital questions of ethics and selections of senior positions are involved.

 For everyone who keeps saying that the Abhishek Singhvi episode is a personal/private matter and it is between him and the lady and his family, pls consider the following.

Anyone who has viewed the video (and I am sure a lot of people have), can easily see that it is not a morphed cd.

AMS is a member of the Rajya Sabha and the chairman of a parliamentary committee. In the video, he is shown having sex with a woman who apparently is not his wife. Thereby, AMS is committing an offence as per Indian law that deals with adultery.

As per this law, adultery is defined as an act whereby a married man has sex with a married woman without her consent AND without the consent of her husband.

So if the woman in the tape is married and if her husband has not consented to AMS having sex with her or she having sex with AMS, then it is clearly adultery as per Indian law - two consenting adults and all that be damned.

So the defence being put out that it was consensual sex or there were no promises or inducements does not hold.

By committing adultery, AMS has committed a crime. And if a Member of Parliament committed a crime, it is not a personal/private matter.

The matter should be investigated to see if the MP has been falsely framed in the CD scandal - Team Anna was threatened with Member Privileges for calling the MPs thieves, this is more serious -  or if he committed a crime under Indian law.

Whatever, Bangalore
