Congress leaders should first check findings of cases against me, before going to media: Anurag Thakur

Dharamshala, November 3, 2017: BJP MP Anurag Thakur took a jibe at Congress party over comments made by Randeep Singh Surjewala about him(Anurag Thakur) and Prem Kumar Dhumal being on bail.
Commenting on the same, Thakur said, “During the past 5 years, Congress government in Himachal spent all their energy to somehow establish cases against me and my family. They got the Vigilance Department of Himachal Pradesh completely entrenched in this and rather making it look as if Vigilance Department was personal property of Sh.Virbhadra Singh. But all their efforts went in vain as they failed to establish even a single case against us and for that matter of fact even against any BJP leader.”
Talking to this correspondent, Anurag said that a number of FIRs too were lodged against him, against his younger brother Arun Dhumal and his father Prem Kumar Dhumal. However, most of the cases after investigations were proved to be wrong and the court in 4 cases have quashed all of them on merit.

“In one of the case, it was against me and my brother Arun Dhumal, the vigilance itself closed it and filed cancellation report before the competent court. The case against Prem Kumar Dhumal was also finally closed under the orders of Court. In other 2 cases, the matter is pending before the Court which clearly shows that there was no merit in the allegations of the Congress party and all the cases against us were politically motivated. My humble request to the media is also to take note of these facts before writing against me,” he added.
He further said, “It is also worthwhile to mention that when they could not establish against us they took a concocted complaint from one advocate from Kangra about our properties and initiated inquiry against our family through vigilance bureau. They wrote to all the State Governments asking for our property anywhere in the country but nothing came out.”
He said that ex-CM Prof.Prem Kumar Dhumal himself addressed a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for initiating a CBI inquiry regarding their property along with the properties of all the Chief Ministers of Himachal Pradesh. He further stated that he has nothing to hide and details of all his properties is in the public domain, which is also available even now. “If Virbhadra Government finds anything extra to that it can be forfeited in the name of the State Government. The Government could not prove anything. It is also a fact that the complainant has been rewarded with the post of Deputy Advocate General,” said Thakur.
