BJP march against Hooda govt
Ambala, February 16 Earlier, Anil Vij addressed a meeting of party activists at Aggarwal Dharamsala. He refuted the statement of former legislator Nirmal Singh of getting a sum of Rs 6.5 crore sanctioned for the repair of roads and other works following the damage caused by floods recently. He claimed that he had instead pursued the matter of repair of roads and got the funds released. He alleged that the tenders invited for the purpose had been cancelled thrice and the process of acquisition of agriculture land at Panjokhra had not been scrapped despite assurances by Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. He said the government was dilly-dallying on taking a decision in this regard. Vij alleged that sanitary conditions in the town had gone from bad to worse. Chocked sewerage, blocked drains and garbage dumps spoke volumes of the apathy of the civil administration towards the welfare of the common man. The BJP legislator asked the Congress leaders not to indulge in populist and misleading statement. Maximum number of scams had been unearthed during the Congress regime, he added. The 2G spectrum scam, Commonwealth Games scam and Adarsh society scam were a slur on the face of the Congress regime. The Congress was morally bound to come out with the truth over the scams. |

J&K sex scandal
Chandigarh, February 16 Their statements came as a major relief to Ghulam Ahmed Mir, former J&K minister, as the two ‘victims’ had accused Mir of rape. They were declared hostile by the court then. In addition, the two also refused to identify Sabina, the alleged kingpin of a human trafficking racket, in the court. The two denied recording statements before the judge and stated that they had never recorded their statement with the CBI. One of the ‘victims’ had earlier alleged that she was introduced to Mir by Sabina, whom she had met at the Secretariat. Her husband was arrested by the J&K Police under the National Security Act. To get him released, she had gone to the Secretariat, where she met Sabina, who took her to Mir’s residence. It was alleged that Mir’s secretary assured her that if she satisfied Mir, he would get her husband released. The second ‘victim’ had alleged that she approached the minister for a job on compassionate grounds since her brother, an Army officer, was killed in cross-firing. One of the ‘victims’ had also alleged that DSP Ashraf Mir had also made an ‘indecent’ proposal to her to get her work done.
