Vadra fears probe may be used for political vendetta

Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, on Friday hoped that the probe launched by the government of the north Indian state of Haryana into his land deals will “not be used for political vendetta” as he insisted that neither he nor anyone associated with him had anything to hide.

“An enquiry has been ordered by the government of Haryana. Let us await its outcome,” he said in a statement here. Insisting that all laws were followed in a “completely transparent manner”, Vadra said, “Neither me nor anyone associated with me has anything to hide.” He added, “I sincerely hope that an enquiry will not be used for political vendetta.” 

His statement came a day after the Haryana government formed a commission to probe grant of license to some entities, including Vadra’s company, for developing commercial colonies in Sector 83 of Gurgaon. The state government appointed retired Judge of Delhi High Court, Justice S N Dhingra, as one-man Commission of Inquiry to probe issues concerning the grant of license(s) for developing 

commercial colonies.
