SHIMLA----An official spokesman of the State Government has strongly denounced the statement of Shri I.D. Bhandari, retired IPS officer, wherein he has made wild and unfounded allegations against the State Government and its law enforcing agencies. It appears to be an outburst of a frustrated officer nurturing political ambitions.
In a statement issued here today, the spokesman said that investigation in the phone tapping case was at final stage and charge sheet would be filed in the court soon.
The spokesman said that the State Government as per its election promise, soon after taking over the reins in the State, initiated probe into the illegal phone tapping along with other cases of corruption and malpractices during the previous government tenure. He said that feeling the heat of the probe, Shri Bhandari was issuing such baseless and unfounded statements at the behest of his political mentors.
He said that there was widespread public opinion regarding illegal phone tapping done during the BJP regime and accordingly action was taken by the Government as per the law of the land. He said that the record was taken in possession by the Government in order to ensure that the same was not destroyed after the change in Government in the State. He said that now when the people were hoping that the defaulters would be brought to book, those involved in this unlawful act were making unnecessary hue and cry.
The spokesman said it was unfortunate that senior officer after retirement was critical of the action of the Government whereas he was part of the Government few days back. He said that Shri Bhandari was airing his frustration in public which was uncalled for and was an indication of his political alliance with the BJP.
He said that it was unfortunate that the BJP during its own tenure has completely politicized the official machinery and officers. He said that this act of the former DGP was a fittest example of saffronization of official machinery. He said that Shri Bhandari was speaking the language of BJP and no body was surprised of his outburst as soon after retirement he had made his political ambitions clear. He said that the Government does not need a certificate from any body regarding its functioning and least from Shri I.D.Bhandari.
He said that it was untoward on the part of Shri Bhandari that he was questioning the integrity of the acting Chief Secretary. He said that the alleged issue was investigated by the previous BJP Government in 2011 and nothing untoward was found. He said that now by raking up the same old issue, Shri Bhandari was trying to blow the trumpet of BJP leaders.
The Spokesman said that as regarding the false allegation leveled by Shri Bhandari against the Principal Private Secretary of the Chief Minister, the case was framed during the tenure of the BJP and it was on record that after investigation and examination of the evidences, the case was sent to the Government of India for prosecution and the Centre Government gave cleanchit to the officer by denying approval for prosecution.
The Spokesman advised Shri Bhandari to refrain himself from giving such politically motivated statements as this would not stop the State Government from investigating illegal phone tapping case and bring the culprits to books.
