Haven’t availed any benefits under Roshni Act, says former minister
Srinagar, Nov 26: Former Minister Taj Mohiuddin Thursday said that he has not availed any benefits under Roshni Act. He said it is all political vendetta and nothing else.
Taj Mohiuddin told KNT that he has no information about the registration of CBI case against him. “CBI has not intimated me yet and whatever I have come to know, it is all through media,” he said when asked has Central Bureau of Investigation registered a case against him under Roshni Act.
Pertinently, Taj Mohiuddin is being accused of getting ownership rights of Sedow Shopian forest land under Roshni Act, a claim vehemently refuted by Taj Mohiuddin.
As per Forest Department records, 13 kanals and 16 marlas of land in Sedow Forest are under the alleged illegal occupation of Taj Mohiuddin.
So far CBI has registered 9 formal cases under alleged Roshni Scam. Former Chief Secretary Muhammad Shafi Pandit has already moved to Supreme Court challenging the verdict of High Court that annulled the legislation under Roshni Act terming it as the biggest scam. (KNT)
