RE: PROVIDING
SECURITY TO MR. ASHOK KHEMKA IAS UNDER THE POLICY TO PROVIDING SECURITY WHISTLE
BLOWERS / RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACTIVISTS / [COMPLAINANTS OR WITNESSES IN
SERIOUS CASES] IN HARYANA
Hon’ble Sir,
Yesterday on the Television
Channels and today in the Newspaper the story of “Threat Calls” to Mr. Ashok
Khemka, IAS officer of Haryana, presently posted as Managing Director, Haryana
Seeds Development Corporation Limited, is a front-page anchor. This is an open
secret that Mr. Khemka, who had recently ordered the cancellation of mutation
of a piece of land owned by Congress president’s son-in-law, is under all sort
of pressure and discriminate treatment at the hands of the Government as well
as is under threat from the vested interests.
Recently on 06 September 2012, in
the wake of Civil Writ Petition (CWP) No. 832 of 2011, Haryana Government has
issued a Notification No. 1/6/2010-3HG-IV introduced the POLICY TO PROVIDING
SECURITY WHISTLE BLOWERS / RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACTIVISTS / [COMPLAINANTS OR
WITNESSES IN SERIOUS CASES], copy attached.
Mr. Khemka is a ‘Whistle Blower’
as per clause (a) (i), (ii) & (iii) of the said notification and deserves
to be provided with the security as envisaged in the above notification. A Complaint,
as per news reports, in the form of information has already been registered
with Sector 5 Police Station at Panchkula, and the matter is already in
cognizance of the higher police authorities.
As per news reports, your honour
has also taken a pro-active initiative on the threat perception to Mr. Khemka and
has summoned him to have a first-hand information from him. RTIFED highly appreciate
this initiative and show its warm gratitude you for this timey intervention.
We have high hope that Mr. Khemka
will be provided the fool-proof security under the above
Haryana Government policy; and the rights, life, liberty, dignity and honour
of an upright Officer as well his family members will be protected.
Thanking you
Very cordially yours,
Surendera M. Bhanot
