| Mehbooba raises finger at DGP, CM again in Haji case | | 'By taking Khoda on board CVC would look like crime cover up body' | | Srinagar: The principle opposition party in J&K PDP has once again raised pointed fingers at Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, this time dragging the name of DGP Kuldeep Khuda in controversial Haji Yousuf death allegedly in custody, contesting and questioning the silence of latter in the whole circumstances in which Haji died.
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president raked up the matter to the hilt today while she opposed the nomination of Kuldeep Khudda as the Chief Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) of the state. Registering her dissent against the proposal at the meeting of the selection committee for appointment of CVC and Vigilance Commissioners here today leader of the opposition and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said appointment of the Chief Vigilance Commissioner and Commissioners of vigilance was extremely crucial to fighting corruption. The exercise has therefore to be more than mere filling up of vacancies or post retirement rehabilitation she said.However, what came as an unexpected and hard hitting attack against both Chief Minister as well as the state Police chief is Mehbooba's plain talk and question as to how can anyone of the rank of Police chief be entrusted with this crucial responsibility of fighting corruption when he could not speak or say anything, leave aside taking action in the cases like the one involving the death of Haji Mohammad Yusuf a National Conference worker and the Rs 90 crore scam in the JK cricket association etc which have been of sensational nature except for the police. The Haji Yusuf case involves serious dimensions of death in police custody and political corruption at the highest places of power. No headway has been made in either case. If the top most police officer who oversaw police inaction in these cases involving the high any mighty is appointed as CVC the whole exercise will look like quid pro quo and the selection process will lack credibility she pointed out.
In view of these facts Mehbooba said, Khudda's nomination would smack of quid pro quo and amounted to a brazen compromise on fighting corruption. She said it would seriously dent the credibility of the commission if it were to be established the way the government wanted to fill it up with favorites. The CVC would look like a crime and corruption cover up body rather than a Vigilance Commission.
Mehbooba said alternatively Ashok Bhan and Samuel Verghese could be considered for the top job in view of their honesty and integrity. |
