"I don`t have even a single piece of paper to say...these are all the allegations", Moily said, responding to a question on allegations against Balakrishnan`s son-in-law for amassing disproportionate assets and against his brother which appeared in a section of the media.
"It`s only in newspapers and (television) channels", he said on the allegations, adding "just because somebody levels charges, they don`t become true".
Moily said allegations should be linked to misuse of office, if any, by the former CJI. "There is no linkage between the exercise of duty as a judge and certain property made by his kith and kin", he said.
Meanwhile, Moily said there is no difference in Congress on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh`s offer to appear before the PAC on 2G spectrum issue.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee`s comments yesterday should be seen in the context that no Prime Minister has appeared before a PAC in parliamentary history, he said.
On BJP`s allegation that Congress is making an attempt to make Sanjay Gandhi a "scapegoat" for all the wrongs during the Emergency, he said "it`s not we (Congress trying to make him scapegoat".
Moily said BJP had carried out a "tirade" against Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi in the past for the clamping of Emergency and now the opposition party thinks that the "people have short memory".
BJP`s defence of Sanjay Gandhi stems from the fact that his widow Maneka Gandhi is in the party, he said.
