Illegal Mining Report to Be Given to Lokayukta:Parrikar PTI | PANAJI | MAR 06, 2012
BJP leader Manohar Parrikar, who powered his party to regain power in Goa and is tipped to be the next chief minister, said today the party will hand over the Public Accounts Committee report on illegal mining to the Lokayukta within 100 days. "All the findings in the PAC report are based on documents. The state government can hand over the document to Lokayukta for investigation," Parrikar, who headed the PAC, said. BJP had in its manifesto announced it would form Lokayukta within 100 days. "Once Lokayukta is formed, we will submit the report to them to investigate," Parrikar said. The PAC report, which the Speaker had refused to be tabled on the floor of the House, had indicted several people including chief minister Digambar Kamat on illegal mining scam which BJP had made its main poll plank. Parrikar, however, said he would not play the politics of revenge but will prosecute all the ministers who were allegedly involved in the scam. "We will not use the police machinery as Lokayukta will be handle all those cases," he added. http://news.outlookindia.com/items.aspx?artid=754449 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
