Whistleblower Ashok Khemka unhappy with CAG report
CAG report has exposed the wrongdoings of the previous Congress government headed by the then chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda but what remains to be seen is how the state government reacts to it.
The comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report, tabled in the Haryana Assembly on Thursday, besides proving the uprightness of whistleblower senior IAS officer Ashok Khemka has also opened his wounds which the then Congress government inflicted on him for having dared to cancel the land mutations sold to DLF by Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra.
The wounds are countless but the deeper ones that are still fresh is the chargesheet issued to him and the way it was issued. The chargesheet had not only humiliated Khemka but also shocked his family as it was handed over to his minor son at night when he was away in Delhi.
"My action in Vadra-DLF land license deal vindicated in CAG report, but continue to suffer the stigma of charge sheet (sic)," Khemka tweeted after the CAG report rocked the state once again.
Reacting to the report, Khemka has said that it failed to touch many issues, including the nexus between bureaucrats and politicians. Though the report says Skylight Hospitality and other firms minted money by selling the government land but it did not touch upon the political angle.
"Many issues untouched in CAG Report. Cycle of corruption involved the triad-business, politics and bureaucracy," Khemka said in another tweet.
Though the CAG report has exposed the wrongdoings of the previous Congress government headed by the then chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda but what remains to be seen is how the state government reacts to it.
The state government had ordered a fresh probe into Vadra's land deals but the probe has not borne any fruit even after three months. Khemka has demanded action against the people involved in the black marketing of the licences.
"Black-marketing of licences and permits to cronies is loot of public wealth.Will action be taken against the blackmarketers?" he said in another tweet.
It is worth mentioning here that the office notings on the basis of which the land purchase in respect of Skylight Hospitality was validated, were also reported missing last year. Khemka had demanded registration of FIRs against the persons involved in the theft but nothing has been done so far.
"Real culprits sit in judgement over me. My pain and suffering may help to detox and cleanse the body politic," Khemka tweeted.
