Following the indictment of the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi Government by the Shunglu Committee report on various counts of corruption and illegal actions, the Delhi Congress on Sunday observed a “maun vrath” at the Gandhi Samadhi at Rajghat. The party demanded registration of an FIR against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its Government.
Party leaders claimed that the Shunglu Committee had examined as many as 404 files pertaining to various decisions taken by the AAP Government, and the findings of the committee unearthed many serious cases of corruption and irregularities by the Kejriwal-led Government, including illegal land allotment, illegal appointments without following procedures and the many foreign tours undertaken by Kejriwal and his Ministerial colleagues, MlAs and other functionaries associated with the Government.
Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken said that he accessed a copy of the Shunglu Committee report through an RTI application, and exposed the findings of the committee before the people of the country on April 5.
The Shunglu Committee report has levelled serious corruption charges against Kejriwal, the AAP and the Kejriwal Government, but strangely, no FIR has been filed against the guilty, Maken said adding the committee had submitted its report to the l-G on November 27 last year, but he could get a copy of the report only through RTI.”
Maken said the BJP-led Central Government was complacent in taking action against the guilty on the findings in the Shunglu Committee report, as the Central Government sat on it for six months. He said the Central Government was still reluctant to act on the Shunglu Committee report as the BJP was trying to protect the Kejriwal Government.
