Ex-home secy now BJP man, won’t react to his charges: Shinde
Published on January 16, 2014
Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde has refused to react to RK Singh’s allegations against him, saying he no longer considered the retired bureaucrat as being a former home secretary but saw him as a politician and BJP man.
“Singh is now a political man. His allegations are political in nature. He is now with BJP. I do not see him as a former home secretary but as a BJP man. I will not react to his allegations,” he told reporters in New Delhi on Thursday.
Singh has claimed that the home minister had allegedly interfered with the transfers and postings of Delhi Police.
He has also accused Shinde of having given wrong information in the matter of the US helping India bring back underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
Singh also remarked that Shinde was not fit to be Home Minister and said Chidambaram was 100 times better than him.
Singh joined BJP in December of last year and may contest the Lok Sabha polls from Bihar.
Shinde said his Congress party and ministerial colleagues had already reacted to Singh’s allegations.
Congress has questioned the “opportunistic” and “low” behaviour of the officer.
Party general secretary Digvijay Singh claimed that the former home secretary had tried to get a post-retirement position from UPA.
“Shocked at the opportunistic behaviour of RK Singh, ex HS. Why did he not bring this to the notice of the Cabinet Secretary or the PM ?
“Is it not a fact that he tried to get a post-retirement position from UPA? Is it not a fact that he had approached Nitish (Kumar) for a position?,” Digvijay had said on Twitter.
I&B Minister Manish Tewari, too, has asked why the bureaucrat had not spoken up earlier.
Tewari criticised what he said was a tendency after retirement among bureaucrats to speak out against their former bosses.
“I think it is extremely unfortunate. You have this very pernicious tendency of bureaucrats after retirement trying to make allegations in order to occupy media space,” Tewari had said.
If Singh, or anybody else, was really so concerned, then why was not the matter put on record while they were in service, Tewari had asked.
The Midnight Drama
Bravo , Somnath Bharati
Bravo for that brush with the Delhi Police at midnight , yesterday
You managed to conclusively establish , what people of Delhi suspected all along , viz :,
> If Delhi Police cannot care a hoot , even for a Minister , the poor stand no
chance to get them to act on their complaints
> Delhi Police are hand-in-glove with the drug mafia / pimps / rapists /
swindlers / murderers / smugglers / all anti-social elements
> Delhi Police are the most corrupt department
DEAR SOMNATH ,
Next time you conduct such a ” surprise raid ” ,
> do it in daytime
> under the glare of 100 TV cameras
> in the presence of the people of Delhi
> telecast LIVE on news channels
TV editors will be too glad to oblige !
That is the only way to expose Police-Mafia nexus !
Forget the proper procedures – which only succeed in alerting the Mafia !
But don’t expect things to change much till AAP manages to get FULL STATEHOOD status for Delhi , and make the Police report to the Delhi government , instead of the Central Home Minister
Of course , the Centre will do everything to prevent this !
In the meantime , a word of caution to the Delhi Police :
Remember ,
> Somnath is only a symbol of people’s anger / frustration
> If you don’t mend your ways fast , this anger will boil over
> At that time , your lathis / tear gas / water cannons will not be able to
control the people
> People have witnessed what happened in Arab countries recently
> They are desperate to try anything that they think , will get them justice
> Do not stretch your luck
> Next time you fail to act on their complaints – or a complaint of any
Minister of Delhi government , you will run out of luck !
> With 2014 elections approaching fast , Congress Home Minister will not
come to your aid – for fear of an ” ANTI – CONGRESS ” wave over ”
POLICE BRUTALITY ” !
Remember , Ram Lila Maidan in 2011 ?
