"Amar Singh donated huge sum to get Indo-US nuke deal done"

New Delhi, May 1 (IBNS) A forthcoming book has raised questions whether former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh was a conduit for the Indo-Us nuclear deal who donated a huge sum to the Clinton Foundation to get the work done.

New York Post has reported that the book, "Clinton Cash" speculated that  Singh had  made a donation of between one million and five million dollars to the Clinton Foundation in 2008 for approval of the nuclear deal.

In its report, the Post said the donation by Singh was made as the US Congress debated the approval of the  civil nuclear deal. It was passed by the Congress with an overwhelming majority.

The book's author Peter Schweizer  told The Post :"If true, that meant Singh had given between 20 and 100 per cent of his entire net worth to the Clinton Foundation!" Schweitzer said in the book according to The Post.

However, Singh has  denied any wrong doing and claimed he was victim of "assumptions and rumour-mongering".
