Dharam Singh, also of Congress and H.D. Kumaraswamy of Janata Dal-Secular. Dharam Singh and Kumaraswamy are now Lok Sabha members from Karnataka.<\/p>\n<p>The FIR was registered after Lokayukta special court judge N.K. Sudhindra Rao Dec 3 directed the police to probe the role of the three former chief ministers and the 11 officials in illegal mining in the state and submit a report by Jan 6.<\/p>\n<p>The directive came on the complaint against the 14 by a Bangalore businessman and social activist T.J. Abraham that they had played a major role in facilitating illegal mining in return for financial gains.<\/p>\n<p>Krishna has denied the allegations and termed them as &#8220;unholy attempts&#8221; at &#8220;character assassination&#8221;. He has said he was confident that judiciary will put an end to such attempts.<\/p>\n<p>Dharam Singh and Kumaraswamy have also denied the charges against them.<\/p>\n<p>In a related development, Krishna found support from his bete-noire in Karantaka politics, former prime minister H.D. Deve Gowda, who heads the JD-S.<\/p>\n<p>He told a Kannada TV channel in New Delhi that there was no need for Krishna to resign just because FIR has been filed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sitting in Delhi, Krishna cannot tamper with evidence in Karnataka and hence there is no need for him to quit,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Several opposition parties, particularly the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP), which is now in power in Karnataka, demanded Krishna&#8217;s resignation soon after the FIR was registered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>External Affairs Minister S.M.
