Don’t spare those involved in Roshni scam: Bukhari

Srinagar, November 27

Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) president and former minister Syed Altaf Bukhari on Friday said those people involved in the Roshni scam must not be spared, asserting that the government should expose them for allegedly encroaching upon the state land illegally.

However, he said, anyone who had availed the benefits of the scheme through a proper procedure must not be harassed. “If someone has encroached upon the land illegally under the scheme, he should be exposed and strict action should be taken against those involved in the scam,” Bukhari told reporters on the sidelines of a party function.

“Those who applied under the scheme legally, they should not be harassed. If there is fraud, if someone has encroached upon the government or the forest land, action should be taken. — PTI
