| Govt-BJP trying to avoid probe into illegal mining scam, alleges Congress | | ‘Nothing short of high level investigation can expose truth’ | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, May 13: Congress has charged the government and the BJP of trying to avoid a high level probe and hush up the matter of huge scam of illegal mining worth crores of rupees in Jammu and Kashmir as was alleged and exposed by a former legislator of ruling BJP, who also claims to represent a large group of stone crushers in Jammu.
JKPCC said that these serious allegations can't be brushed aside nor hushed up just by constitution of a committee of middle rung officers, as charges are very serious and public outbursts of a former legislator who also represents a large team of stone crushers dealing with the mining industry, supposed to know more than anybody else. They have referred to a high level nexus behind the illegal mining worth crores of rupees involving senior officers and politicians.
Some other top people too have seconded the charge and a large number of people have supported the demand for a high level independent probe into the entire racket worth crores of rupees that too in blatant violation of high court directions, said chief spokesperson of the party Ravinder Sharma.
“How such a serious matter can be hushed up just by a committee of officers, besides some distractions, retractions, distortions or diversions of Randhawa and team, who have claimed to have brought out certain bank details of cash transactions of the bribe money, in furtherance of his charges, to substantiate his demand for a CBI enquiry into the whole matter,” said Sharma.
“In the given circumstances only a high level probe by a judge of the Supreme Court or CBI can unravel the truth and expose the nexus which runs into crores of rupees as stated. It is no longer an issue between BJP and its activist or between a few stone crusher owners and department or a couple of middle level officers and officials,” he added.
The issue is of bigger magnitude and dimensions, worth crores of rupees causing huge loss to the state exchequer besides fleecing of the general public as well prevalence of the Hafta culture, which needs to be fully exposed and real culprits identified and booked, the party demanded.
