JK Congress leaders shocked over the Governor’s statement involving late Prime Minister in Bofor’s scam: Governor’s over stepping is unfortunate: Ashok Sharma

Jammu, May 10 (GNS): J&K Congress leaders in a joint statement expressed their shock and serious concern over the statement of Governor Satya Pal Malik involving name of late Prime Minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi in Bofor’s case by degrading the constitutional status of the chair he is occupying. Well knowing that the late Prime Minister Mr. Gandhi’s name was exonerate from the case way back in 2004, 15 years back, Mr. Malik publicised his involvement for political gains to a political party during general elections is misuse of his official position and degradation of the status of constitutional office he holds.

Over stepping of his regime the governor not only required to regret and withdraw his statement but also look into his failures to meet the expectations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He not only failed to give good governance but became victim of favouritism, nepotism and stop corruption scams he publicised with regard to bank recruitment, employees medical insurance, withdrawal of security to political persons resulting into their killings and so on.

The leaders expect the Mr. Malik not only to ensure the dignity of the constitutional position he is occupying but act in an impartial and dignified manner irrespective of political affiliations, caste, colour, region and creed.

They added that it is painful to note that the people are facing drinking water, power’s supply, medical treatment, women protection, wages against the work done, teaching facilities in schools, crises and even unrest among the students and youth is at climax and the highest office of the state has involved itself in political gimmick and favouritism.
