43 transfers in 20 yrs:Ashok Khemka (Haryana IAS )

Haryana IAS officer Ashok Khemka has been transferred 43 times in 20 years. Its not because he broke some code of conduct or was bad at the office but because he WAS HONEST at the office !

The IAS officer, Ashok Khemka, has acquired something of a reputation for exposing irregularities in land dealings in Haryana, and for that reason has been shunted around frequently by the Haryana government.

This time too when Kejrival exposed irregularities in Vadra's property  Khemka initiated an investigation into Vadra’s land dealings. Today(monday,oct 16) he has been transferred again three days after he started this inquiry.|Oh! so that's how the GOVT maintains that they are not corrupt, by shuffling the honest one around| 

Its a shame that this is the 43rd time Mr Khemka has been moved out from office in his career 21 year long career as a Haryana cadre IAS office
According to 'The Hindu' Khemka could have delivered a parting kick that could refocus media and public attention on more controversial land dealings of Vadra  in a way that could cause deep propbem for the Vadra, Sonia Gandhi, DLF  and the Congress government in Haryana.

While Haryana Govt and congress is trying to bury the evidences that Khemka was trying to dig out.
Khemka has made it difficult for the Haryana government and the Congress crisis managers to bury the entire controversy surrounding Vadra’s land dealings, by placing on record the fine details of irregularities that he had dug out in connection with the Manesar-Shikohpur land deal in particular.
Ashok Khemka has written a letter to Haryana Chief Secretary complaining about his transfer.

Quote:-their words 
Ashok Khemka
“If you do take an action which you call strong but I would call as correct, and then action is taken against you, it’s very demoralising, dehumanising and you feel ashamed of yourself that look, there must be something wrong with you that these things are happening,” Ashok Khemka said.
“You get words like ‘you don’t get along well with others, ‘there are shades of grey in life’ etc. These kinds of euphemism are created to deviate you from the correct path,” Ashok Khemka expressed.

Arvind Kejrival

“Haryana Chief Minister ought to answer to the country why has Khemka been transferred. What is transfer policy for IAS officers in Haryana? Under that policy, can officer be transferred merely because he was investigating Vadra?

“Ashok Khemka transferred by Haryana Govt because he was probing Vadra’s land deals in Haryana. We strongly criticize that,” Arvind Kejriwal said.


Editor's View: Those in the dress of politician pretend to be non-corrupt and present official documents to show their honesty, but can we believe such official documents which are made by officials under the fear of TRANSFER and any other action which politicians and government use to control the offices?!

Khejrival elaborates real estate graft,reveals DLF-Haryana GOVT relations

IAC today(Oct 9,2012) revealed the relation and deals between Haryana Government and DLF alleging that state Govt gave hospital land to DLF to build SEZ ( special economic zone--a geographical region that has economic and other laws that are more free-market-oriented than a country's national laws. "Nationwide" laws may be suspended inside a SEZ)
 "Forest land was given to DLF in Haryana without clearances," said Arvind Kejriwal 

Allegations

• Financial bid for golf course project was tweaked in favour of DLF
• Haryana govt gave land to DLF at much below market rate
• "Panchayat land has been handed over to DLF, HUDA land has been handed over to DLF.
•  FAR (floor area ratio) has been increased for DLF, land use rule have been changed (for DLF)
• Several farmers who attended press conference alleged that Haryana government had usurped land from them, using fraudulent methods
• According to their theory these benefits were given by Haryana Govt to DLF in return of benefits DLF gave to Vadra(son in law of Sonia Gandhi)

Kejriwal said the Punjab and Haryana High Court had also in recent times noted the "malafide nexus" between the Haryana government and DLF.They also demanded white paper Vadra-DLF-Haryana Govt links 

Kejriwal said they had information that a lot of ‘big people’ had invested in BPTP and India Bulls. He appealed to the people to send in evidence of such investments in  companies such as BPTP, India Bulls and GMR.

Quote"All the evidence we have provided today makes it a fit case for an income tax raid," he said. "I have been an income tax officer, and I know it.
"But after the country's finance minister speaks in favour of Vadras, which officer will have the guts to give (Vadra) a notice?" he added."Why is the finance minister defending him? Why is the law minister defending him? All the ministers are trying to save him." he asked

 
Shanti Bhushan(notable lawyer) added that the questionable business dealings between DLF and Vadra were very much covered by the Prevention of Corruption Act
REPLY/REACTION
 National Govt,state(Haryana) Govt as well as DLF turned down the allegations.
DLF in its press conference called Khejrival's  allegations "a bunch of lies" 
DLF's reply is as follows 

• On relation between state Govt and DLF
  With reference to the 30 acres of SEZ development by DLF on land purchased from East India Hotels, the order of the Punjab & Haryana High Court  has been stayed by the Supreme Court of India vide its orders dated 20th June 2011 and 26th September 2011.The matter is subjudice and is awaiting hearing.  The matter is subjudice and is awaiting hearing. 
• On Vadera's share in DLF-SEZ  holdings
  In the DLF SEZ Holdings 50% of shareholding was acquired by North India IT Parks in October 2008 at the face value of Rs. 2.50 Lacs which was subsequently bought back from North India IT Parks in September 2009 fully at face value of Rs. 2.50 Lacs  as the proposal for developing SEZs could not take off due to recession.So no profit was made by Mr. Vadra or DLF, in this regard.  Mr. Vadra, neither had nor has any interest in the various SEZs of DLF in any manner.
• 350 Acres land given to DLF
   This land was allotted through an international bidding tender. This matter is subjudice before the High Court of Punjab & Haryana. 
•  Increased FAR for DLF
  This project was approved way back in 1995 as stated in DLF's earlier press release. In subsequent revisions of Master Plan, no changes in FAR or density have taken place. Hence, no benefit has accrued to DLF by the said revisions in the Master Plan.
• Land Acquisition cancelled in Manesar to favour DLF
  DLF or any of its companies never purchased any land in the residential sectors of Manesar as alleged by Kejriwal.
  Acquisition proceedings were withdrawn by Government of Haryana on 24 August 2007, whereas DLF acquired development rights much later from other developers to develop two licensed group housing projects only on 11 April 2008.
  These group housing projects are under development after obtaining all due approvals.

Points of graft
According  to the IAC  

• Real estate firm DLF sold him prime land in Delhi and nearby areas at throwaway prices while giving him interest-free loan
• Due to which Vadra’s wealth grew from Rs 50 lakh to more than Rs 300 crore in three years.
• However, balance sheets of five companies set up by Vadra and his mother show that the total share capital of these companies was just Rs 50 lakh.
  "An auditor who looked at the balance sheets said none of these companies were involved in any other business activities during these years.”Khejrival said

•  Kejriwal said DLF could have tied up with Vadra for acquiring land deal on favorable terms through Congress governments in Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan.
• "Although they(Robert) had no legitimate business activity between 2007 and 2010, they acquired properties worth over Rs. 300 crore during the period." he said
  
• e.g  Sky Light Realty Private Limited is a company owned by Vadra, that bought a 10,000 square feet apartment in DLF Aralias, Gurgaon (Haryana), for Rs89 lakh whose market value at the time of purchase in 2010 was Rs25 crore, the activists said the current value was about Rs40 crore.

Kejriwal and Bhushan said the information had been sourced from the registrar of companies.Arvind Kejriwal distributed scanned copies of documentary evidence to back his claim.

They demanded the government to probe into the benefits Robert Vadra may have received in the corrupt property deals.

In response congress stated the same corroded dialogue of it being a political stunt.
Union ministers Ambika Soni, Salman Khurshid, Rajiv Shukla and Jayanthi Natarajan even slammed Kejriwal and his team."We will teach him a lesson through legal means," Khurshid said.” Rashid Alvi party spokesperson, also asked  asked. "if they have any evidence, why don’t they go to the courts?
Opposition demanded investigation on this case. Baba Ramdev also demanded a probe into this.
