Harak Singh gave clarification on Sahaspur land scam case
Harak Singh Rawat said that on the behest of the government, ED is now calling day as night and night as day. The institution from which impartiality is expected, has today become a means of intimidating opposition leaders at the behest of the government. Referring to the Supreme Court, Harak Singh said that despite the court’s reprimand several times, ED and CBI are exploiting opposition leaders.
If even 1% is proved guilty, I will leave politics: Harak
Harak Singh Rawat said that ED has filed cases against 198 Congress MPs and leaders, but has been able to prove only two guilty. More than 200 public representatives have cases registered against them across the country, but the success rate is only 4.6%. Harak Singh Rawat clearly said that he considers himself innocent and if he is found guilty even by one percent in the land case, he will retire from politics.
I am being mentally harassed since one year: Harak Singh
Harak Singh said that the land for which he is being dragged into the scam was merged with the government in 1960 itself under the Zamindari Act. He said that in land purchase cases, records of up to a maximum of 12 years are seen, yet I am being unnecessarily dragged into this case. Harak Singh claimed that he and his family are being mentally harassed since the last one year.
