Congress sees gameplan to indict Robert Vadra

NEW DELHI: Reacting to the report released last week by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India ( CAG), Skylight Hospitality Pvt Ltd and Robert Vadra have accused the BJP government in Haryana of deliberately not replying to queries from the Principal Accountant General, Haryana in order to ensure that the state auditor’s report indicted Vadra and Skylight.

A letter from a law firm, Suman Khaitan & Co, acting on behalf of Vadra and Skylight, blames the state government for not replying to multiple notices/letters written from PAG "purely for politically motivated reasons". "Haryana government chose not to reply or bring on record the ‘incontrovertible facts and statutory provisions (which would have rebutted every finding of PAG), leading to finalisation of interim preliminary objections of PAG," the letter says.

"This fact has also been admitted by Additional Chief Secretary, Town & Country Planning, Haryana on March 25 who stated that Government of Haryana has now prepared a reply, which it will be submitting to PAG. Once an ex-parte report of PAG is already submitted to Legislature, filing of a reply to the objections raised by PAG by State government is itself meaningless and reflective of patent malafides and mal-intention on its part", according to the letter.
