| Vakil goes all guns blazing against 'corrupt' Ministers | | | Early Times Report
BUDGAM, Sept 22: Former Minister and Member AICC Abdul Gani Vakil today said that his tirade against corruption will continue for the welfare of people who believe that tax payers' money is going to drain.
"Nobody can stop me from raising voice against this menace of corruption because this menace is eating into vitals of our society. I will not be coward down by suppressive measures but will continue my crusade against corruption fearlessly. My crusade will not stop till guilty is punished," Vakil said while addressing party workers convention.
Vakil said a good chunk of forest land and private land has been grabbed by a sitting Minister and is entered as illegal occupant in the records but still no one is ready to speak or initiate action against the land grabbers. The green gold for which even the Supreme Court has given strict directions needs to be preserved.
However, in a State where lawlessness has encouraged land grabbers and where forest and even the agriculture land are getting thinner day by day. The situation has reached a stage where even party workers have started feeling alienated. Vakil said that morale of party workers was still high but they need to be consolidated so that Congress alone can give people a stable and transparent Government.
He asked party workers and leaders to strengthen hands of AICC chief Sonia Gandhi and spread the programmes and policies of Congress in far off places of the State. Vakil expressed concern over Government's attitude towards corruption and corrupt elements and said that now situation has reached a stage where Government is denying sanction for prosecution of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats and in some cases the politicians and bureaucrats themselves have sought stay against State Accountability Commission (SAC) orders thereby completely camouflage their misdeeds.
Addressing the convention, former Minister and MLC Jugal Kishore Sharma said that Congress stands for decentralization of powers and it was towards this end that Panchayat elections were held in Jammu and Kashmir State during the coalition regime. He said that this was the beginning of new era and elected Sarpanches and Panches should now be given complete powers so that they could prioritize the development of their villages.
Addressing the convention Sr. Congress leader Aga Syed Muhsin expressed full support and solidarity with Vakil for his crusade against corruption. Others who addressed the gathering included Haji Ali Mohammad Bhat, Dr. Abdul Ahad Yatoo and Sr. Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Lone. |
