during the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government's ten year regime, sources
told CNN News18 on Wednesday Aug 31,2016
The commission's report submitted to the Haryana government on the various land deal cases between 2004 and 2014 that happened in the state during the previous Congress party rule suggested that the Hooda government had favoured Vadra in various land deals adding that several officials manipulated rules to favour some influential people.
The Commission was set up by the BJP government in Haryana and it was BJP’s poll promise during the 2014 elections that the guilty will be brought to book.
Addressing the media, Justice Dhingra said that based on the report's findings, action will be taken against several people including former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
Speaking to media after submitting the report Dhingra said that there were irregularities in the land deal adding that he brought to light the manner in which irregularities were committed and people behind it.
The report has two volumes and the third volume has the details of the documents which I received on June 30, 2016. There have been irregularities in the land allotment deals. The contents of the report will be provided when Haryana Government starts the investigation and if they want to make it public, they can do so. Irregularities in grant and the manner it has been benefited and to whom have been examined by me. I have named each and every person who is involved in the irregularities," Dhingra said.
Asked about the reason behind not involving IAS officer Ashok Khemka to record his statement, Dhingra said, "If I wanted to call Ashok Khemka, I would have. I didn't think it was necessary."
Justice Dhingra has put it on record that irregularities were found in the grant of permissions to Robert Vadra's Skylight Hospitality, and several influential people granted favours that caused land prices to increase substantially in and around Gurgaon.
The Commission has reportedly questioned more than 50 people and includes two dozen officials, and it is likely to recommend several cases and further inquiries.
Reacting to the report, BJP national spokesperson Siddharth Nath Singh said that his party was not surprised by the findings of the commission.
BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao said that Haryana government would examine the report and take appropriate action.
"I think the report is likely to be very very explosive in nature. Much greater than the CAG report. Windfall gains were made by Robert Vadra and his companies in land deals," Rao said.
Attacking Justice Dhingra Congress party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said "It was a sinister conspiracy of the Haryana Government and BJP, with the sole intent to defame and malign Robert Vadra."
"Even before the submission of report, portions were leaked to the press and aired in many media channels. This shows the malicious intent and sinister conspiracy of the government of Haryana, of BJP & even the Commission itself," Surjewala added
