The ultimate cause of the action (cash-for-vote scam) was to save the government which was not in majority at that time (July 22, 2008)," his counsel Anand contended before Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal.
He opposed the plea by the police seeking two-days custodial interrogation of Hindustani and said that they are giving clean-chit to the Congress Party despite the fact that investigation is still going on.
