Rafiabad, February 22, (Scoop News)- Member AICC and Former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil today hailed the determination and will expressed by Omar Abdullah for curbing corruption and said that it is a step towards right direction though late but acknowledgeable. He said Omar Abdullah has shown his commitment in respect of Administration and Bureaucracy only either intentionally or unintentionally. Mr. Vakil said that Chief Minister must clear his stand with regard to corruption cases of politicians which are biting dust in various anticorruption agencies and are not inching forward for disposal, for the reasons known to everyone. He urged Omar Abdullah to bring to logical conclusion each and every case of alleged corruption pending against politicians and refrain from adopting selective approach. Former Minister said that corruption undoubtedly flourishes from top level and we cannot expect prudence and honesty from a clerk unless politicians become role model for everyone. Mr. Vakil was addressing a large public gathering at Dangiwacha Rafiabad today where he was given warm welcome for being appointed as Sr. Vice President J&K PCC and for giving Tehsil Status to Dangiwacha which was the long pending demand of the area. It is pertinent to mention here Vakil played a vital role in getting the demand for Tehsil status to Dangiwacha fulfilled.
While addressing the gathering Vakil said that corruption has made our system hell and no space is left for scrupulous honest people to breath and if we don’t set the things right in shortest period we may have to face mutiny in the state. Mr. Vakil impressed upon Chief Minister to be cautious and it is better to be late than never and work for speedy disposal of all pending corruption cases and redress every genuine grievance of common masses before next elections so that we can again show our face to electorate.
Mr. Vakil reiterated his demand to high command to keep away all corrupt and tainted leaders and ministers from the party without any inordinate delay till they are absolved of all the allegations by investigating agencies, courts or anti corruption bodies otherwise Congress will have to face people’s wrath in coming elections.
Mr. Vakil once again appealed Congress High Command not to surrender all Parliamentary seats in Kashmir Valley because it is going to prove disastrous for Congress. Congress can’t afford to surrender its representation and participation to any alliance partner in the ensuing parliamentary polls in the name or for the sake of alliance. He said such moves in the past have proven counter-productive and nothing could be achieved by the party expect eroding and weakening its base in these regions.
“An act of surrendering party’s representation in Parliament election will be a historical blunder and a step towards demoralizing the party rank and file.”
The former minister said it is equivalent to weaken India in the J&K if our party decides to surrender all the seats in Kashmir in the name of alliance if forged with any party.”
