| Taj to recommend removal of LC chairman | | ‘I am strengthening CM on directions of High Command’ | | early times report
jammu, Nov 14: Just two days after House Committee probing land grab allegations against Minister for Irrigation and Flood Control, Taj Mohi-ud-Din was dissolved; a relieved Taj intends recommending removal of Amrit Malhotra as chairman of the Legislative Council. Taj has accused him of trying to create a wedge between the coalition partners.
"I will send a request to Congress High Command in News Delhi and ask them to take action against the Chairman after taking the National Conference on board", Taj told media persons in Jammu today.
Taj said the aim of the LC Chairman was to create a wedge between the coalition partners. "He failed in his efforts. He accused NC saving me but forgets that 8 members of Congress had already written to him stressing that his step was unconstitutional", he said.
Taj reiterated his stand that the house committee constituted to probe charges of land grabs against him was unconstitutional. "The Charges are a conspiracy against me. The charges have been investigated by the Accountability Commission in 2005 and by the Vigilance Commission in 2011. They found nothing against me and I am still open to probe by them".
He said he was following the directions of the Congress High Command to strengthen Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. "I am strengthening the Chief Minister on the directions of High Command. I am ready to face any probe whether by vigilance or accountability commission. It is good that the committee has been dissolved", he added.
Taj accused Congress MLC Bashir Ahmad Magray of backtracking by giving different statements to media in Kashmir and Jammu.
He said the land at Sedow in Shopian has been legally transferred to his name under the Roshni Act and that he is not against any kind of probe or investigation against him. "My problem was with the house committee as it was unconstitutional".
