My speech is on record, have not breached MCC guidelines:
Taj
Srinagar: Claiming that the
senior Congress leader and medical education minister Taj Mohi-ud-din has
violated the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) norms, former senior police officer
Raja Aijaz Ali (IPS) Sunday stated that 500 rupees each were
given to the participants who attended the rally organized by Taj in Uri
on March 9.
However, Taj Mohi-ud-Din denied the charges leveled by
Ali, saying that his address to a Congress rally in Uri is recorded and anyone
can check the details. According to the statement issued here, Aijaz stated
that more than 20 lakh rupees were spent by Congress leader Taj Mohi-ud-Din on
a public rally in Uri thus sidelining the guidelines set by the Election
Commission of India (ECI). “The people who participated in Taj’s rally on
Sunday were all given 500 rupees each and irony is that several
participants in the rally were from a single clan.”
Aijaz stated further that when the code of conduct is
imposed in any region, no person is permitted to announce any scheme or benefit
from the government before the masses and that Taj in his rally blatantly
announced the central scheme wherein he stated that 75 thousand rupees will be
given to each family for the construction of concrete houses. “This is a clear
violation of code of conduct.”
Maintaining that the previous leadership including
Mohammad Shafi Uri and Taj Mohi-ud-Din have exploited the people of Uri
Socially and politically at large, Aijaz stated that he was compelled by the
general masses of the place to enter into active politics otherwise he
had no intention for the same. He added that due to the blunders
committed by Shafi Uri, Taj Mohi-ud-Din received support in the year 2002.
”Nepotism has engulfed the sacred place like Uri at present. On one hand Shafi
Uri destroyed the very basis of the region and on the other - Taj is benefiting
his own men through several state and centrally sponsored schemes- hence
agonizing the common people.”
The statement reads further that during the past 25
years, the people who claim to represent the Uri people in Legislative assembly
and were also active players in state cabinet never benefitted common people
and instead preferred partiality and favoritism. Aijaz Ali- the former IPS
officer stated that people of Uri in the forthcoming polls will teach both NC
and Congress a lesson and that people in the area have fewer opportunities in
terms of entrepreneurship, hence are dependent on the government jobs. (KNS)
