Welcoming the Supreme Court judgement of cancelling 214 coal blocks allotted illegally and arbitrarily by the successive governments led by the the Congress and the BJP since 1993, the Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday said the judgement will have long lasting impact and would ‘discourage the unscrupulous corporates and politicians, who abuse their position of power to plunder the natural resources of the country. These precious resources belong the people of the country and not politicians and corporates’.
‘The judgement vindicates AAP’s stand from day one that the allocations had been done in lieu of huge pay offs and not for country’s growth and development, as claimed by the successive governments’ said AAP in a press statement.
‘AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai had observed a fast from 26 July 2012 to 3 August 2012 demanding investigation into the coal scam’ the statement added.
