| Govt response to corruption farcical: Mehbooba | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
BANDIPORE, Feb 15: People's Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti has said while corruption graph was rising to unprecedented levels in the state, the government res-ponse to it was becoming more and more farcical.
Addressing party workers of Bandipore district here today she said nobody would be impressed by the coalition government's witch hunt among the low grade employees to find scapegoats for its massive frauds and failures. She was referring to government announcement of premature retirement of 13 middle rung and low paid employees yesterday in the name of cleansing the administration. Mehbooba said corruption in high places could not be controlled by removal of teachers, linemen and technicians. "There is no doubt that corruption has eaten into the vitals of our society and it is hurting the common man at every level. Whether it is about getting a document from revenue department, a ration card, a residence certificate, an identity card, a driving licence or a big contract, nothing happens without greasing the palm of the concerned in most cases, but all this is promoted by the top guns who receive share of the booty." |
