Jammu: Peoples Democratic Party senior leader and Public Works Minister, Syed Altaf Bukhari Thursday said that all the corrupt officers and officials would be shown door while the capable, honest and upright officers will be groomed and appreciated.
It is shocking to observe corruption everywhere and in every department. I went through comprehensive data from past 20 days and it came to fore that sixty per cent corruption starts from Secretariat (top) level. Our Government is bound to stop corrupt practices and identify the corrupt officials. The job is difficult but we will do it, Bukhari told CNS adding that the corruption was the main sources of lack of development in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that the list of corrupt officers and officials is very lengthy. I failed to understand that despite having a strong anti-graft bodies in our state, why the previous government did not curb this menace and continued to encourage corrupt officials. Our government has decided to make all anti-graft institutions completely functional and robust, Bukhari said.
He said that Government is very serious to ensure corruption free J&K. We must not lose hope, we should fight and expose corrupt elements and I am sure soon these people will be taken to task, he said.
Our Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed has directed all his Cabinet Ministers to rise above the politics and ensure that credibility of the institutions, which was eroded by the erstwhile NC-Congress government is restored, he said.
