Govt admits: Knew about case against CVC Thomas but (still) appointed him

Govt admits: Knew about case against CVC Thomas but (still) appointed him: "The selection committee meeting to choose the central vigilance commissioner in September last year did discuss the Palmolein case against P J Thomas, Home Minister P Chidambaram said on Monday but parried a question whether a 'chargesheeted' person should have been appointed.

Addressing a press conference, he was happy to agree with the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj that the committee discussed the issue of a pending case against Thomas before he was named the CVC."
