Kiran Bedi maintained the savings accruing from the practice were deposited in the NGO she heads, India Vision Foundation. "Sorry to disappoint detractors trying real hard to find a smoking gun. However I accept this kind of coverage as a part of the challenges which being in public life poses,'' Bedi said.
Congress, which has been attacked by Team Anna, used the allegations to take a dig at Bedi. AICC General Secretary Digvijaya Singh said the charges were serious and merited probe. Law Minister Salman Khurshid, however, said, "I don't find myself equipped or able to pronounce judgement on anybody like the way judgement has been passed on many of us by the movement in which Kiran Bedi has a role. I don't think we should condemn anyone unheard," he said.Bedi said she had explained her stand to Anna Hazare, who is on a maun vrat. She said she had also spoken to another key member of Team Anna, Arvind Kejriwal, about the controversy.

country was broadly a "private body" and could not be covered by the anti-corruption watchdog. The Guild was represented by its president TN Ninan, general secretary Coomi Kapoor and treasurer Suresh Bafna in the meeting with the parliamentary standing committee on law and justice.
Many MPs cutting across party lines, including those in the committee, have been demanding bringing the media and NGOs under the ambit of the proposed Lokpal.
In the meeting, some members are understood to have told the Guild representatives that there is no demand to bring the "news content" under the Lokpal, but only the "business content", since media houses also buy assets likes land for their infrastructure.
Committee chairman Abhishek Singhvi is learnt to have stated that the Guild members put across their views "clearly and proactively."
As many as 21 other organisations and individuals were also invited to appear before the committee on Friday, to state their views on the Lokpal issue.

I don’t benefit, my NGO does: Kiran Bedi
NEW DELHI: Team Anna member Kiran Bedi — who has been accused of claiming full business class airfares from companies and institutions hosting her while travelling at 75% discount in economy class courtesy her gallantry award — has said she did not personally benefit from the measure and the money went to her NGO.
"Business class travel is part of the invitation/entitlement from the event organisers/corporates I'm asked to speak at,'' she told a news conference in the Capital on Thursday, after a newspaper reported in detail about her practice. "Travelling economy is a choice despite entitlement only to ensure that savings remain with the NGO. No personal gain here.'' Kiran Bedi claimed that she took these steps with the concurrence of her hosts. "I downgrade myself sometimes,'' she said, adding that her hosts tell her that how she chooses to spend the fare they assign to her ticket should be her personal decision.
