NEW DELHI: The BJP on Thursday alleged corruption in the Delhi Waqf Board and accused its chairman and AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan of handing over Waqf properties worth over Rs 100 crore to unauthorised persons with out following due procedure, a charge denied through the latter. Leader of Opposition in the Delhi assembly Vijender Gupta alleged that chief minister Arvind Kejriwal is popping a blind eye to the intense "corruption and rampant irregularities of criminal nature of his MLA".
Gupta prompt Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal to straight away institute a CBI inquiry into the working of the board.
He demanded that all land and monetary transactions be stopped henceforth.
"Amanatullah Khan has recently handed over Waqf properties worth at least 100 crore rupees to unauthorised persons without following due process. He is guilty of unlawfully creating and filling up 36 posts of different categories in Delhi Waqf Board with his relatives, friends and favourites," Gupta said.
He is trying to unlawfully open financial institution accounts in the title of the board to siphon off massive sums for his non-public gratification, he alleged.
Though the executive govt officer is a statutory signing authority in financial issues, Khan is bypassing him, he added.
Gupta alleged that Waqf premises have been rented out with out following due procedure.
Khan termed the allegations "baseless" and challenged Gupta to turn out the claims.
"CBI, ED, every investigation agency is with them. They can get the allegations probed. Why don't they want the Waqf Board to function. There has been undue interference," he said.
Khan said that he has not rented out any new properties in the remaining two years and the outdated tenancies are proceeding.
