The Jamuu region's business community Thursday sought Union Home Minister Amit Shah's intervention to frequent Income Tax raids over their ventures, terming the action as an "intentional targeting of the business people."
In a letter to Home Minister Shah, Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Rakesh Gupta said the raids ahead of the annual Amarnath pilgrimage are "spoiling the peaceful atmosphere and leaving one and all frustrated."
Seeking time from the home minister either in Delhi or during his visit to Jammu region in future, Gupta said, "We would like to reiterate with all our conviction that corruption is at its peak and being done by the babus holding high positions and almost a situation of 'Inspector Raj' is prevailing that is most unfortunate and unfriendly for the business world."
