The Arvind Kejriwal Government will discuss the status of the functioning of the Enquiry Commission on alleged corruption in Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) in the Delhi Assembly on Friday. The motion would be moved by AAP MlAs Alka lamba, Nitin Tyagi and Bhavna Gaur under short duration in the House.
According to sources, the Government will debate in the House about the status of the functioning of the DDCA enquiry commission. The former Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam was appointed as the head of the commission of enquiry. The issue was debated at the House of Delhi Assembly last year.
The conference room of the Delhi Assembly was turned into a full-fledged court at Delhi Secretariat for this Commission. But the Commission remained on paper and non functional after the Centre had declared the enquiry commission as invalid and illegal as it was set up without approval of lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung.
Following a CBI raid in Delhi Secretariat in connection with charges against Kejriwal’s Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar, the AAP Government has claimed that the Central agency carried out the searches to target the AAP chief and was looking for a file relating to alleged graft in DDCA.
The decision to appoint the committee came a month after an AAP Government-appointed probe committee recommended immediate suspension of DDCA by the BCCI for alleged irregularities including financial bungling.
The Delhi Government panel had suggested that an interim committee of professional cricketers should manage affairs of the game in the Capital. The committee had also recommended to the Government to appoint a Commission of Enquiry under the Commission of Enquiries Act while mentioning about findings on DDCA’s alleged wrongdoings by various probe panels in the recent past including the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO).
