New Delhi, Feb 21 (IANS) Home Minister Rajnath Singh said Saturday no guilty person would be spared in the case relating to the leak of documents from the petroleum ministry and strong action would be taken against them.
Rajnath Singh said the government should be commended for unearthing the scandal.
"We should be commended as we found out that this was happening, the culprits will be punished," he told reporters.
