| VO presents annual report in LA, skips names of 3 Speakers | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 24: State Vigilance Organisation has done it again. In the report it laid down in the state Assembly today, there is everything which it covered under the purview of its functioning except mention of the name of three ex Speakers for their alleged involvement in the high profile backdoor appointment of 37 people in the Assembly Secretariat. The report was presented in the Assembly today on behalf of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti.
In what can be seen as a deliberate attempt to shield and cover high profile politicians belonging to two political parties -two from National Conference Akbar Lone and Mubarak Gul besides Tara Chand of Congress who occupied the chair of Speaker during NC-Congress coalition regime, Vigilance Organisation has not mentioned these names in the annual report, notwithstanding the fact that VO has not just established the case of the backdoor appointments but also prepared a final report in the matter after completing its detailed investigations last year.
Interestingly, in its previous reports in matters of irregularities or bunglings at the hands of politicians or bureaucrats the VO has not hesitated to name them, no matter how powerful they were in their stature. From political stalwarts like late Moulvi Iftkhar Ansari to Taj Mohi-u-Din, Mohammad Sultan Panditpuri, VO has named many such politicians for their alleged involvement in irregularities in different cases in the reports presented from time to time. Also, it has made mention of a politician Jagjivan Lal, ex minister in a case as old as one registered in 1989 in the annual report. However, it is a different matter that no such case has reached its logical conclusion, including that of Jagjivan Lal , file of which is still lying pending with the Law department.
In the matter of backdoor appointments of kith and kin of high profile politicians of almost all the political parties, the VO has is shying away even in making a mention in the report, not to speak of making any movement forward in registering the FIRs. Pertinently, the matter remained in circulation for the last two years and assumed quite a significance on account of intervention of the HC after which VO was compelled to open the case which it first closed apparently under political pressure, made an in-depth investigation and established the case followed by completion of its report. Till date, however, it has desisted from taking a final decision in the matter, which is why it has chosen to omit the mention in its annual report. |
