Cong demands probe monitored by SC

DAINIK NATION BUREAU

Following on the media report, which claimed that a company owned by BJP chief Amit shah has witnessed huge turn over since inception of narendra modi led NDA regime at centre, the Congress demanded a probe monitored by the Supreme Court.

“Either Amit Shah should immediately step down from his post or he should be relieved from the charge as the party president, so that allegations of irregularities levelled against his son Jay Shah’s company could be probed independently,” Raj Babbar, PCC president of Uttar Pradesh in the presence of UK PCC president Preetam Singh and UK’s leader of opposition Indira Hridayesh here at party head office, Dehradun today.

He further suggested that a commission comprising two sitting judges of the apex court be set up for an independent and credible probe into the matter.

Preetam singh said “PM Modi had said ‘na khaunga, na khane dunga’ (will not engage in corruption myself, nor allow others), but now the question is being raised over his party president’s son.

“It is the right of the people to know the truth behind what was claimed in the media report regarding his (Jay’s) company,” Singh added.

He also questioned why a union minister (referring to Railway Minister Piyush Goyal) came out to defend Jay Shah, who is neither a minister in the union cabinet nor a BJP officer-bearer.
