| MLC demandscommission for release of CDF: Ex-serviceman approaches Congress high command for justice | | | Early Times Report
jammu, June 18: An Ex-serviceman turned small contractor, who is being denied payment by a female MLC of Congress despite the public civil work done by him under CDF funds, has now approached the party high command for seeking justice.
Frustrated over denial of payment, the ex-serviceman is learnt to have even threatened to commit suicide and expose the said MLC as well as Congress party if he is denied justice any more.
According to the sources in Congress circles, the aggrieved Contractor has personally met AICC secretary Ved Parkash, Private secretary to Sonia Gandhi and other senior Congress leaders for their intervention into the matter.
Sensing gravity of the situation and genuine grievance of the ex-serviceman, sources said that the Congress high command leaders have telephonically conveyed the said MLC to immediately release the CDF funds against the work done and also explain the cause of unprecedented delay for the same.
Earlier, also, the contractor had formally complained to AICC general secretary and incharge J&K affairs, Ambika Soni that the said MLC was demanding an advance commission of 25 percent of the total CDF amount, to be released against the work. As this Ex-serviceman turned Contractor clearly refused to pay bribe, the MLC did not sanction release of the CDF payment in his favour despite satisfactory completion of the work for the last more than a year besides completion of all required formalities for release of payment. As reported earlier by the Early Times, the said contractor was introduced to the MLC by a Congress worker, on whose recommendation, the CDF work was allotted to him more than two years back. As this worker disaffiliated himself from the MLC during the last Assembly elections in the State and did not explain the game of omission and commissions in the CDF works to the Contractor, the Ex-Serviceman ensured quality work and completed the same timely. However, when he approached the MLC for sanctioning of release of funds against the work executed by him, the later demanded 25 percent commission in advance. Stunned over such demand, the Contractor tried to explain that he had executed the work on the MLC's formal recommendation and he also produced the official letter in this regard besides certificates of the concerned department. But the MLC refused to acknowledge all this and allegedly reiterated that not even a penny would be released till the commission is paid.
Since then, the aggrieved Contractor has been running from pillar to post for getting his payment released but all in vain. |
