JAMMU, Dec 9: Expressing dismay over the clean chit given by Ram Madhav, BJP general secretary to the Ministers who were alleged to be transporting illegal cash in official vehicles, Harshdev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister, questioned the basis for dismissal of the said reports as “baseless” without any enquiry having been held into the same.
He regretted that rather than volunteering the institution of on enquiry into the widely circulated and much publicized reports, Ram Madhav downplayed the egregious episode by saying that he had enquired into the same and was satisfied that the allegations were false and baseless.
Which enquiry Ram Madhav was referring to and what was the basis of his satisfaction, questioned Harshdev Singh asserting further that it was the satisfaction of the general public that was more important than the satisfaction of BJP leaders.
Calling for a high level probe into the recent incidents of trading in dirty cash, Harshdev Singh said that the deceptive cloak of propriety which the J&K Ministers were wearing had been torn to tatters and which was clearly visible to the common masses except the top BJP leadership.
Ridiculing further the directive of the PM to the BJP Ministers, MPs and MLAs to submit their property statements from November 8 to December 30 to Amit Shah, Singh described it as mere dramatics to hoodwink people.
Describing the PM’s directive to BJP Ministers and MLAs as eye wash and window dressing for the gullible, Singh said that it would also receive a clean chit and honesty certificate from Amit Shah as has been received by J&K Ministers from Ram Madhav.
Flaying the Government for promoting and patronizing the corrupt, Singh called for waging a decisive war against corruption from the top. To begin with, the Ministers, MPs and MLAs must make their annual assets public indicating the sources of addition to their swelling fortunes, he demanded.
