Will move Lokpal for complaint against PM in Sahara-Birla diaries: AAP’s Gopal Rai

Delhi | Tuesday | 19th March, 2019

Summary:

AAP will approach the country’s first Lokpal to lodge a complaint against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his role in the “Rafale deal” and “Sahara Birla diaries”, party Delhi convenor Gopal Rai said Monday. Rai was a senior member of the Jan Lokpal movement — spearheaded by social activist Anna Hazare and CM Arvind Kejriwal — which gave birth to AAP. Rai added that there are many loopholes in the law at present, and that the entire appointment process of the Lokpal has been shrouded in secrecy. After forming the government in the capital in 2015, the AAP passed the Jan Lokpal Bill, but the Centre did not clear it. “The AAP will bring in public domain some related facts in the coming days,” the party said in a statement..
