JAMMU, Aug 19: The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has demanded that the alleged multi-crore JK Bank scam by the top BJP leaders of Jammu and Kashmir should be handed over to ED/CBI, for investigation, while questioning why these agencies are silent, so far, in this serious matter and are they meant to investigate allegations against the non- BJP persons in the society, only.
Reacting to the media revelations relating to the issue of huge bank default by top BJP leaders indicating connivance with bank management, senior leader of JKPCC, Ravinder Sharma questioned why the premier investigation agencies are silent so far, if these agencies are really independent in their working and functioning. Are they meant to be used only against non- BJP persons or anti- Government people?
Why such a huge scam and loot of public money has not been investigated and exposed, for years and why money is not being recovered with interest from such affluent and influential persons, he questioned.
Referring to serious revelations by a senior advocate, S S Ahmed, he said the allegations have remained un- rebutted on facts, so far .Why these leaders are maintaining criminal silence and are not coming clear on the issue, despite repeated expose by the lawyer- activist through media.
Sharma hoped that this will not be a case of waiving of loans like over 10 lakh crores of loans waived off by Modi Government, to big loan defaulters, as revealed recently, while poor loanees are dealt with under stringent SARFESI Law and their houses, shops, properties are put to sale on default of smaller amounts.
Let the entire truth come out, as revelations are startling and banks deal differently with different set of people, he said, adding the banks hold public money in trust , thus people have right to know how their money is being used by the banks, seeking high level probe into the matter.
