Let Delhi police deny report: Dalal Chandigarh, August 21 “The report has quoted the Delhi police. Let it deny the report”, Mr Dalal said. He also expressed surprise that Union Home Minister, L.K. Advani did not take note of the illegal betting by the Rori MLA. Mr Dalal demanded that action should be taken against Mr Abhay Chautala like any other person caught in the act of gambling. Mr Dalal claimed that the Chautala family had bought peace with the underworld by paying whatever Mr Abhay Chautala was to give plus a huge additional amount to settle the ‘supari’ issue. The MLA also asked Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala to clarify whether Mr Mewa Singh was also a signatory of the state government’s MoU with Canadian software company, Finline. Mr Dalal, who had earlier alleged that Mr Mewa Singh was a proclaimed offender wanted by the police for not repaying a loan taken by him from a bank, said that information received by him suggested that Mewa Singh was one of the partners in the project. According to Dalal, Mewa Singh is also a partner in another project stated to have been clinched during Mr Chautala’s tour of China. Mewa Singh had not yet clarified whether he was a proclaimed offender or not, Mr Dalal said. |

Some of them have not been paying the tax for the past several years. The sources add that the notices issued to these defaulters have yielded no results. Some of the government departments are also defaulters. Similar to this, the employees of the Charkhi Dadri municipal committee are continuing their agitation to seek wages since July 12.
