Chandigarh, January 2: Leader of Opposition Sukhpal Singh Khaira writes an open letter to retired Judge of High Court. He demands apology from the justice and says the Narang commission report was bogus. He writes in his letter.
I am pained to write this open letter to bring out a very poor, deceitful and meek character of yours, as evident by your conduct as head of the so called bogus Narang commission. Although we had termed your appointment as head of the Narang commission as a premeditated “clean chit” commission but yet we did not think that a retired judge of the High Court in the evening of his life would deceive, cheat and mislead the people of Punjab on a vital matter of corruption in high places involving a Minister.
As expected you shamelessly handed out a clean chit to the said tainted Minister Rana Gurjeet Singh, ignoring glaring facts which even a layman would have been able to understand and indict the said Minister.
Fact No. 1: In your report you have described Amit Bahadur and Kulwinderpal Singh as the frontmen of Sanjeet Randhawa and Sahil Singla, while the record of Ministry of Corporate Affairs even as on today shows that Amit Bahadur is a Director of RJ Texfab Pvt.Ltd. a company owned by Rana Gurjeet Singh that pumped in Rs. 4.52 crore directly into the M/s Rajbir Enterprises, responsible for funding the auction. In other words they are frontmen of the tainted Minister Rana Gurjeet. (copy of MCA record attached)
Fact No. 2: You wilfully ignored the fact, that two companies namely RJ Texfab Pvt.Ltd. and RGS Traders Pvt.Ltd. directly owned by the family of Rana Gurjeet Singh and having the same address of Rana Sugars Ltd. head office SCO 51-52 Sector 8 Chandigarh, had directly contributed Rs. 4.52 crore and Rs. 36 Lac respectively into M/s Rajbir Enterprises for the mining auction. Both the companies are a part of 23 persons/entities summoned by you during the inquiry, yet you turned a blind eye.
Fact No. 3: Although Mr. Amit Dakha Director Mining confessed in his statement before you that he received a phone call from the tainted Minister Rana Gurjeet Singh about the auction, but yet you never thought it appropriate to summon Rana Gurjeet Singh and record his statement and go deeper into the content of the phone call.
Fact No. 4: It has come to light, that the Rs. 1000 crore irrigation scamster and contractor Gurinder Singh transferred Rs. 5 crore to the account of one Jatin garg nephew of Sahil Singla, who in turn transferred the said Rs. 5 crore to M/s Rajbir Enterprises for the bidding money. You never tried to probe Jatin Garg to find the source of such a huge financial entry. If you had tried to genuinely investigate you would have found a quid pro qua between the scamster contractor Gurinder Singh and the tainted Minister Rana Gurjeet, as the Minister has released huge amounts of money as payments to scamster Gurinder Singh, after registration of Rs. 1000 crore corruption FIR against him.
Fact No. 5: You purposely ignored the fact that M/s Rajbir Enterprises has paid the General Manager Mining/Punjab government a whopping approx. Rs. 29 crore and not Rs. 18 crore as 50% earnest money mentioned by you during your inquiry. It means the tainted Minister and his gang have been allotted more than the known two mines of Saidpur Khurd and Mehdipur.
Keeping in view the above stated startling facts purposely ignored by you but investigated and researched by ordinary people, media persons and opposition leaders, only goes to show that your inquiry was not only shoddy but was full of deceit, fraud and cheating, probably to grease your palms or get a plum position for your lawyer son in the office of Advocate General Punjab.
Therefore, I demand that you should tender a public apology to the people of Punjab for a bogus and premeditated clean chit inquiry. I also demand that you should deposit back to the public exchequer money misused by you in your capacity as head of the Narang commission, that include all kinds of remunerations to you as salary, TA, DA, office staff and space, vehicle, security etc. without any further delay, as it was a pre planned case of deceit and cheating in the name of bogus inquiry.
