HT Correspondent Chandigarh, December 10
Pledging to rid Haryana of criminals allegedly enjoying the patronage of Chautala regime, new working president of the Haryana Congress Randeep Singh Surjewala today said the party was committed to get the alleged acts of omission and commission of Chautala probed and bring the guilty to book.
The very fact that proclaimed offender Mewa Singh Bedhian had accompanied the Chief Minister on his visits abroad and criminals wanted for heinous crimes in other states were allegedly roaming freely with the Chief Minister’s sons clearly reflected the state of affairs in Haryana, Randeep said.
Addressing his first press conference after taking over the new assignment, Randeep also warned “pliable bureaucrats acting like agents of the Chautala family”. “I call upon these officers to function impartially. If they continue to function like the touts of Chautala and his sons, we're not going to spare them, whether it is a returning officer or a Chief Secretary,” he said.
Randeep said there was no need to constitute a Commission of Inquiry to probe charges of misdemeanours against the Chief Minister as they were crystal clear.
He said powers of the Council of Ministers were being abused by the Chautala regime for approving premature release of criminals whose convictions have been upheld even by the Supreme Court.
Thanking party president Sonia Gandhi and AlCC general secretary Janardan Dwivedi for reposing faith in him, Randeep said his priority and agenda would be get rid the state of “dictatorial subjugation” of Chautala government.
Reiterating that the Congress would not project any one as the chief ministerial candidate in the coming Assembly polis, Randeep, when asked to comment on separate rallies organized
by Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Birender Singh yesterday, said there was nothing wrong as the objective of the rallies was to attack the Chautala government.
Both Hooda and Birender had personally congratulated him and he did not consider his appointment as a setback to anybody. He described as a close chapter the denial of a Lok Sabha ticket to him by the high command in face of opposition from his party colleagues.
Randeep said Dalits, traders, students, government employees and farmers have been the worst-affected during the 1NLD reign and were waiting to oust the present it.
