Chandigarh, October 7
Dismissing the findings of the Justice JS Narang (retd) Commission, Leader of the Opposition Sukhpal Singh Khaira today demanded a CBI inquiry into the sand mining auction row allegedly involving Power and Irrigation Minister Rana Gurjit Singh.
Addressing a press conference, the AAP MLA alleged that Justice Narang went out of the way to save Rana Gurjit. He said though the commission had given the clean chit to the minister, but after reading its report, there was no doubt that Amit Bahadur and Kulwinder Pal Singh participated in the auction on Rana Gurjit’s behalf.
He alleged that now the commission was trying to save the minister and made other scapegoats. He alleged that everybody knew that the people, including Sahil Singla and Sanjeet Randhawa, who transferred money in accounts of Rana Gurjit’s employees, were close to the latter.
He asked when the money didn’t come from accounts of Amit Bahadur and Kulwinder Pal, which was a precondition, how were they issued certificate of approval by the mining wing. “It can’t happen without the minister’s influence,” alleged Khaira.
He said he would also move the High Court to seek justice.
Khaira also demanded that the Chief Secretary should cancel the allotment of mines to the minister’s employees and forfeit the money deposited by them as they had violated conditions of the notification.
