FIR to be registered in four land deal cases: Sukkhu

The state government would soon expose the land mafia and at least four FIRs would be registered in Benami land deals while the guilty in phone tapping case would be exposed, Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) president Sukhvinder Singh Sukkhu said today.
Addressing a public meeting in support of Pratibha Singh, Congress candidate for Mandi Lok Sabha bye-election said that the party had raised the issue of benami land deals during the BJP regime and enquiry is in progress in number of cases and four FIRs would be registered soon in this connection in Solan district.
He said that the BJP government, illegally tapped the phones of about 1,400 persons, including politicians, journalists and even common man, intruding into people's privacy and the enquiry report would be made public soon.

Criminal cases would be instituted in phone tapping case and the truth, that at whose behest the phones were tapped would come out, Sukkhu added.
He alleged that while the former Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal commercialised politics by patronising 'education mafia' and 'land mafia', his MP son Anurag Thakur made the gentleman game of cricket a "business".
