Govt reacts: IAC accused CANNOT order probe:

Just in: The government reacts to Arvind Kejriwal's statement that he had dared the government to order a probe into the alleged financial irregularities of three IAC members. The MoS says accused cannot order a probe.

Kejriwal said the IAC HAD formed an independent committee of ombudsmen consisting of three retired judges enjoying a reputation of high integrity and independence to inquire into any charges made against key members of IAC. The three members being probed are Anjali Damania, Prashant Bhushan and Mayank Gandhi.

India Against Corruption members Mayank Gandhi and Anjali Damania today welcomed the organisation's decision to set up a three-member panel of retired judges to probe the charges against them, and said they were ready to face any probe.

"We are ready to face any probe. If the probe finds us guilty, we will quit," Gandhi and Damania told reporters here. "I am legally a farmer and have documents to prove it," Damania said.

"I have not done any `benami' transactions," she said, referring to questions about her land deals. "We have nothing to hide. The probe will clear everything," said Gandhi, facing allegations of having links with builders.

The above is from Rediffmail.

I agree with the government when it says that the accused cannot order probe.

Then by the way how can the government order probe against Ashok Khemka by the Chief Secretary who has already announce that prima facie nothing wrong has been done.

Can we expect justice under the circumstances from the chief secretary?

On the other hand, Kejriwal has immediately ordered probe by three retired judges against three members of his team, Anjali Damani, Shashi Bhushan and Mayank Gandhi against charges have been raised.

Would the government dare to take such prompt action against Robert Vadra, Salman Khurshid , Nitin Gadkari and Sharad Pawar.
