LUDHIANA The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday demanded the resignation of cupboard minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu in the alternate of land use (CLU) scam.
The scam had rocked the assembly on Friday after AAP’s deputy chief of opposition Sarabjit Kaur Manuke raised it right through the 0 hour. It used to be alleged that CLU were granted to a personal developer in violation of norms to learn his multi-crore luxury apartment project bobbing up on Gill Road in Ludhiana.
Addressing the media here on Sunday afternoon, chief of opposition Harpal Singh Cheema and Manuke demanded speedy resignation of the minister, saying it will be a take a look at for Congress president Rahul Gandhi, leader minister Captain Amarinder Singh and cupboard minister Navjot Singh Sidhu.
They said the fact that the executive minister had now not acted towards his cupboard minister and officers in the case raises questions over his claims of 0 tolerance for corruption.
Cheema said names of Ashu, Congress chief Kanwaljeet Singh Karwal and 3 senior officers had pop out in the inquiry file, but the CM used to be silent. He added that this used to be even if Manuke had raised the problem in the assembly on Friday and sought strict action.
Cheema said the AAP would combat a decisive battle towards the land mafia for the rights of the folks and the state. He claimed that there have been innumerable such circumstances through which citizens had suffered as a result of the land mafia running in cahoots with the federal government, and they had been approaching the AAP leaders. “We have determined to make a committee to take up such circumstances and raise voice towards land mafia,” said the AAP chief.
Manuke alleged that in spite of the media reports and disclosure in the assembly, the federal government had now not acted till now, which issues to the mafia having links with the Congress prime command. She added that now it used to be to be seen whether Rahul Gandhi would act towards Ashu or protect him like Robert Vadra.
She said action towards Ashu and others can be a take a look at for the CM and Navjot Sidhu, who have now not acted even after 4 days. “There are media reports that Ashu used to be threatening authorities who had carried out the inquiry. We will combat for his resignation. A girl named Naseeb Kaur, who lives in America, has property close to the land in question and she or he had approached the AAP with a grievance of flawed registry. After February 26, a five-member committee towards land mafia will carry voice towards those who have bought property of people, parks of town, executive puts and playgrounds. The AAP will take up the problem in the assembly session on Monday,” said Manuke.
Calling the allegations unsubstantiated, Ashu said, “Ask them what fraud has been committed. Is there a monetary loss to the municipal corporation? They themselves don’t know what has took place. If they know the rest, then they may be able to stage allegations. There is not anything towards me. I don’t know what is in the inquiry file or whether it has my identify. It is with Sidhu Sahib (Navjot Sidhu). I do not know what Sarabjit Kaur Manuke is saying. If there may be the rest towards me, Sidhu Sahib should write to the executive minister to act towards me.”
