Not making charges against Robert Vadra in personal capacity: Khemka
Chandigarh, Aug 13: Senior IAS officer Ashok Khemka on Monday sought to clear the "erroneous impression" that he had personally shared with the media the allegations against Robert Vadra, saying that the charges were actually part of the report submitted by him to the Haryana government.
"Some
reports
appearing
in
a
section
of
the
media
give
the
erroneous
impression
that
the
allegations
are
being
made
by
me
in
person
to
the
media.
"But
the
fact
is
that
the
statements
form
part
of
the
official
report
submitted
to
the
State
Government
by
me
on
May
21,
2013,"
Khemka,
the
Secretary
and
Director
General
of
the
state
archives,
said
in
a
statement
here.
"It is made abundantly clear hereby that I have not made any comments in person on the subject till date to any print or electronic media. "Any attribution in news reports should not be to Ashok Khemka in person, but to the official report submitted to the state government," the statement added.
Haryana government had yesterday denied allegations made in the said report against its Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) in connection with the Vadra-DLF land deal. Vadra is married to Congress President Sonia Gandhi's daughter, Priyanka Gandhi.
The report states that Vadra "falsified documents" for 3.53 acres of land in Gurgaon and "pocketed" a large premium on a commercial colony licence. The report submitted to the state government's three- member inquiry panel set up to look into the issue alleges that Vadra executed a series of "sham transactions" for the land in Shikohpur village of Gurgaon.
Meanwhile, main Opposition INLD today submitted a memorandum to Governor Jagannath Pahadia demanding a judicial inquiry into the Vadra-DLF deal and other alleged land scams which have come to light under the Hooda government.
"Khemka submitted a detailed report to the Haryana chief secretary three months back regarding these land scams and it is a very serious matter which needs to be thoroughly probed," INLD state president Ashok Arora told reporters here.
