Was kept in dark, says Adhir Ranjan Choudhury, part of jury for Gandhi Peace Prize

In a dramatic twist to the controversy over the Gorakhpur-based Gita Press being awarded the Gandhi Peace Prize, leader of Congress party in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Choudhury on Tuesday claimed that he was part of the Prime Minister-led jury that decided the award, but was "kept in the dark about the decision", and was not invited to attend the June 18 meeting.
