Shinde dares R K Singh, AAP to give proof of corruption


New Delhi, Jan 20 (PTI): Facing allegations of corruption levelled by former Home Secretary R K Singh and the Aam Aadmi Party, Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde today dared them to substantiate the charge and make it public.

"If anyone has any proof, any slip, any letter they should make it public. I am ready to face any consequence," he told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.

Shinde was replying to a question on Singh's allegation that the then Delhi Police Commissioner used to receive slips from the Home Minister's residence recommending transfers and postings in the Delhi Police rank.

Quoting the former Home Secretary, AAP leader and Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti alleged that there has been rampant corruption within the Delhi Police and Shinde has been indulging in it.


Singh, who joined BJP recently, had claimed that "slips used to reach Delhi Police chief quite often asking about posting some people as Station House Officers".

"These were not a few postings but in large number of police stations," he had said.

"I don't know whether money used to exchange hands but Delhi Police Commissioner told me that numerous slips used to come from his residence... you don't make large number of recommendations... the postings as SHO's has a vigilance angle to it," he said.

The former bureaucrat had also claimed Delhi Police was stopped by Shinde from questioning a Mumbai-based businessman, who is said to have "some kind of links" with Dawood Ibrahim, in connection with the betting in Indian Premier League, a T-20 cricketing tournament.

    I am neither for nor against Mr. Shinde. However, in these columns, people again and again say that he is 10th fail 3 times, is wrong. He was CM, Power Minister and now Home Minister, still, one can accept that he is 10th fail. But, he was Governor of Andhra Pradesh. Up to now, no non-metric is appointed a Governor in India. Accepted, suppose he failed 3 times, maybe he might have passed 4th time. Because, we know that he attended Dayanand College, solapur and completed B.A. (Honors) degree. He also completed a law degree from Shivaji University, one of the reputed universities in Maharashtra, like Mumbai and Pune.

    When our nation has survived since last 60 years in spite of rule by pathetically corrupt people, why can't India survive under the rule of others?

    Your comments are extremely exaggerated. Ask yourself, if the Congress was so pathetically corrupt would the people of India keep returning them to power for 60 years ?

    Ask yourself again, why the BJP were thrown out of power after just one term at the Centre and here too in Karnataka ???

    Because more than 80% people in India have no access to information. They do not know what is going on in the country except what some propaganda papers tell them. The very comment you are reading is a result of recent social media phenomenon which thankfully have allowed the common Indian to bond over the internet to fight corruption.

    Now Delhi Police is under Central Govt. But if the Delhi Police is brought under Kejriwal's Delhi State govt, then AAP will surely give solid evidence of Shinde's corruption, atleast as regards protecting the mastermind of IPL match fixing who was Dawood's henchman.

    Proof of corruption will not work in this country. POLICE, COURT, GOONDAS under strong political parties control. Court will take 10 years without resolution. Police will make YES to NO and vice versa. Goondas need to take care of political Netaas.. Dekho Abhi Tamasha

    Mr.Shinde is a daring person...!He dares everyone from Aadarsh scam to Coal gate scam...! He asks for the proof...? Real proofs are disappearing from the government files.....If you have cassettes as proof, then they say its tempered and if you have C.D., they will send it to Hyderabad and from there it will be d that C.D.is not authentic. There was fire in Mantralaya, Mumbai if you remember...and some of the Aadarsh files burnt without proof...!
    Kanoon ka haath lambe hothen hein. So far no politician in India caught in scams...those who caught and jailed have come out and walking door to door in Bihar for votes....! and we are here arguing for what?.

    it is very corrects things Sindeji is sayings.He is proving best HM of India so far.He is hanging many dangerous terrorist.nobody is having guts doing these things.He is hand picked by Rahulji and Soniaji for handling home ministries because they is realise his talents.He is proving his talents in many crisis situations.Also he is showing a sensitive side of his by asking police be careful when arresting terrorists belonging to minorities.He knows just arresting and torturing is not solutions to terror issues.They need love and compassion and also understanding as to why they is become terrorist fellows.Then we can prevent youths from becoming promising terrorist in futures.Shindeji unlike former ministers is understand these situations.He is not after publicity but silently working to achieve these things.We must support him and didn't make a baseless corruption charge against him.

    In 2002, Shinde contested for the country’s Vice Presidential polls and lost. While many would have had their careers ended, but Shinde’s did not, He was first made CM of Maharashtra and then made a Governor. He was pulled out of retirement and made Power Minister. When Shinde’s name was indirectly linked to Coalgate via his tenure as Power Minister, instead of trying to assuage matters, he commented that like Bofors, even the Coalgate scam would eventually be FORGOTTEN.Despite the power blackout in 2012,the adrash scam, he got the Home Ministry.As he himself was in the Maharashtra State Police department he is well versed with the police departments, so will it be easy to prove his corruption???

    R.K.Singh,retired home secretary from the Home Ministry if he had the evidence or proof of corruption from Shinde,he would have exposed him, then only, but not now after retirement.When he had kept silence means knowingly he had not disclosed about the corruption and he too become the party for corruption.It need to be stopped making allegation on the bosses after retirement and if anyone makes he need to be arrested first.Hope,the government makes necessary changes to stop this kind of allegations and malice.Thanq.
