Corruption was the root of all the problems, said the Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, as he addressed the recent suicide cases of two Haryana officers. He then added that some are trying to give these cases a "political colour or caste angle". The remarks of the minister came at a 'Jan Vishwas-Jan Vikas' function organised at the HSVP Convention Centre at Sector-12, Faridabad.
"Corruption has been at the centre of many incidents in recent times, but the government is committed to completely eradicating it," said Khattar, while assuring that justice will be ensured in both cases.
Y Puran Kumar (52), a 2001-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, allegedly committed suicide at his Sector 11 private residence here on October 7. He left behind a ‘final note’ alleging harassment, which included caste discrimination, by senior police officials of the state. The story does not end here. A twist in the case came when an Assistant Sub-Inspector, Sandeep Kumar, shot himself dead in a village in Rohtak and purportedly levelled corruption allegations against Puran Kumar.
"Some people are trying to give it a political colour or caste angle to recent events, but the truth is that corruption is the root of all problems. No matter how influential, no one will be spared if found involved in corruption. It is also clear that no innocent person will be allowed to suffer injustice and everyone will receive justice," he added.
According to an official statement, the district-level 'Jan Vishwas-Jan Vikas' function, held to mark the completion of one year of the third BJP term in the state, began with the distribution of allotment letters of 50-100 square yard plots to beneficiaries under the Chief Minister Rural Housing Scheme 2.0.
Khattar said the Haryana government allotted 50-100-yard plots to approximately 9,000 eligible beneficiaries across the state under the special initiative that provides permanent housing to poor and needy families.
"A new identity for good governance: 'No parchi, no kharchi' became the mantra for the BJP government's victory for the third time in Haryana. Haryana became the country's first kerosene-free state, with electricity, gas, and water available to every household. The government has implemented several reforms to ensure transparency and good governance. The online transfer system and the digital delivery of all services are important steps in this direction," the former Haryana chief minister said.
