| J&K has become most corrupt state in country: Harsh | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 5: While J&K state was declared as the second most corrupt state in the country in the previous regimes, it certainly has qualified for the top post in the present era said Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman.
Addressing media persons, he said that some recent orders of the govt have facilitated the state in earning the most dubious distinction of being the most corrupt state in the country. Expressing utter dismay over the new directive of the govt appearing in the media today allowing Ex-MLAs to use CDF, he said that such an order provided the most glaring example of loot and plunder of state's resources by corrupt politicians in connivance with unscrupulous bureaucrats. He said that it was unprecedented in the history of state rather country that members of dissolved Assembly were being granted permission to use the CDF grants despite the same having lapsed with the dissolution of House. He said that it was a unique case of loot of tax payers' money in collusion where the Ex-MLAs and top bureaucrats had joined hands to defraud the exchequer. And when politicians and top bureaucrats had connived in the process of loot, the administrative machinery below was made to act as hapless accessory.
Questioning the issuance of the most controversial order on CDF issued 45 days after the dissolution of Assembly, he called upon the vigilante organizations to take cognizance of such a brazen irregularity. He said that the tax papers' money could not be allowed to be plundered by vested interests by throwing all norms and laws to the winds. He said that that the CDF use order being violative of financial code and SOPs, it was required to be rescinded forthwith. He said that the planning Deptt surely was in the dock for having issued such an egregious order which could never face the test of judicial scrutiny. He said that JKNPP would not only agitate the issue vigorously in the streets and outside the Civil Secretariat but knock the doors of the court seeking exemplary punishment for those bureaucrats who issued the order in league with corrupt politicians.
He said that corruption had engulfed the entire state during the last few years with norms and procedures openly blown into smithereens for personal and political gains. Execution of works without tenders, backdoor appointments, paid transfers and now back dated requisitions and orders on use of CDF had completed the vicious cycle of corruption, said Singh. He appealed to the President of India to intervene to stem the rot as such kind of patronized corruption in President's Rule was inexcusable and indefensible.
Gagan Partap Singh State Secretary JKNPP and Rajiv Mahajan District President Jammu (Urban) of JKNPP were also present in the press conference. |
