TRUTH ABOUT KAMLA BENIWAL & IGNORAMUS TELE-ANCHORS
- Ram Kumar Ohri, IPS (Retd)
There is an unseemly clamour and competition among several prominent tele-media anchors of NDTV, CNN-IBN and other T V channels and prominent political analysts to whitewash the indefensible acts of malfeasance committed by Kamla Beniwal, former Governor of Gujarat during her political career as a leading light of the Congress party. Reproduced below is an excerpt from Wikipedia which is available in public domain.
“At the age of 27, she was the first female minister in Rajasthan. Kamla has been a minister in Congress governments in Rajasthan since 1954, holding various portfolios, including home, education and agriculture. She was the revenue minister in the Ashok Gehlot government.
She was appointed Governor of Tripura in October 2009. She was the first female governor of any state of Northeast India.[1]A month later, she was appointed as the Governor of Gujarat on 27 November 2009.On 6th July,2014, she was transfered from the post of Governor of Gujarat to the post of Governor of Mizoram. On 6th August,2014, she was released from the duty as Governor of Mizoram.
Controversies
Beniwal and many former Congress Ministers and political leaders from Rajasthan were accused in the 1,000-croreJaipur Development Authority land scam. She was allocated expensive land at low prices on the basis of false affidavits and documents.[2]
Dr Kamla Beniwal had claimed to be a farm laborer putting in 16 hours of work every day for the past 41,000 days according to the records of Kisan Samuhik Krishi Sahakari Samiti Limited (KSKSSL), a cooperative body in Jaipur, based upon which land was allocated to her.[3] The cooperatives registrar of Jaipur passed strong strictures againstKSKSSL and in its inquiry concluded that the samiti's claim that they were farm labourers was false, and that the samiti had deliberately and intentionally given false statements.[4][5][6] This issue was raised in Rajya Sabha during the pre-noon sitting which led to stalled proceedings and the House was then adjourned for 15 minutes”.
Prima facie the formidable tribe of our ignoramus telemedia anchors and political commentators appearing on our T V channels seldom do their homework, nor try to update their measley knowledge and ability to research and reach truth.
This single example illustrates the hollowness of our telemedia’ anchors to their claim to fame. They are just busy promoting falsehood and deceit among millions of inadequately read Indians.
I salute our over-clever tele-media anchors and political commentariat for taking the public to ride by their delusional debates and bluff and bluster.
God bless them ! Period.
