The Congress Government in Haryana faced another embarrassment on Tuesday with the CBI registering FIR against Kurukshetra MP Naveen Jindal in the Coal Block allocation scam.
The agency also carried out searches at more than one dozen locations, including residences and offices of Jindal on Tuesday. Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has been facing an awkward situation as former transport minister Om Prakash Jain, and ex-Chief Parliamentary Secretary Zile Ram Sharma are facing a CBI investigation for the murder of an ex-Sarpanch of Kambopura village, in Karnal District.
Similarly another former minister of Haryana, Gopal Kanda is behind the bars for the abatement of suicide and rape case of a former air hostess working in his company.
Similarly, Sukhbir Kataria, sports minister, Haryana, is facing investigation for fake voters scam and another Chief Parliamentary Secretary Ramkishan Fauji is also facing allegations.
Naveen Jindal’s mother Savitri Jindal was a former Minister in the State Government while his father late OP Jindal, was also one of the senior leader of Haryana Congress and remained former Power Minister during Haryana Congress regime. State BJP alleged that the action of CBI is too little too late but a correct step. Vir Kumar Yadav, spokesperson of State BJP demanded that CBI should also find out the monetary deals finalised by Naveen Jindal during coal scam.
Main Opposition Indian National lok Dal (INlD) demanded judicial enquiry from acting justice of either Supreme Court or High Court, besides, immediate arrest of Naveen Jindal in the alleged scam.
