I was not blackmailed says Varun Gandhi

MP Varun Gandhi on Saturday said there is “not one grain of truth or shred of evidence” against him with a two-page long response to the allegation about him leaking classified defence information to arms manufacturers. Releasing a letter written by New York based lawyer C Edmonds Allen, Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav alleged that Varun Gandhi was honey-trapped by controversial arms dealer Abhishek Verma to reveal secret defence information. While he was a member of both the Defence Standing Committee and the Defence Consultative Committee from 2009, he said he never attended a meeting of the Consultative Committee and very few of the Standing Committee. "Clearly, I was neither actively seeking out nor passing on any information. Had there been any hidden agenda or motivation as alleged in the letter it would have been reflected in my attendance...  "I would like to point out the false and frivolous nature of its (letter) charges, and the impossibility of these allegations." Gandhi said.
