AAP leader Prashant Bhushan today said that the AAP is in possession of a series of recorded telephonic conversations that implicate DMK leader Karunanidhi and his daughter Kanimozhi further in the 2G scam. Kanimozhi, a DMK MP, is already an accused in the case filed by the CBI and is presently out on bail.
Bhushan added that the latest 'evidence' in AAP's possession showed that the DMK leader's role in the scam needed to be probed further.

"There are conversations between Kanimozhi, Karunanidhi's PA and Jafer Sayed an IPS officer close to the family. This conversation shows that Karunanidhi was completely aware of the dealings taking place," Bhushan said.
The AAP said there were dubious land deals and other deals that indicated murky dealings between the DMK leader and industrial houses.
"The tapes were recorded on a mobile phone. We can't say who has leaked the tapes. There is talk in the tapes even of kickbacks from a power plant going to the accused. We have verified with people who know the persons in the tapes and they verified the voices", he added.
Bhushan made the allegations during a press conference at the Constitution Club. The charges are against Kalaignar TV, which is considered a channel run by the DMK.
The payment of alleged kickbacks to Kalaignar TV is why Kanimozhi, the daughter of DMK supremo Karunanidhi was arrested.
