Threat to commit self-immolation
From Our Correspondent
ROHTAK, July 14 — Mr Vidya Bhushan Aghi, president of the HUDA Sector-1 Residents Welfare Association, has threatened self-immolation on Independence Day if certain "corrupt" officials of the local HUDA office are not punished by then.
Mr Aghi has gone from pillar to post to seek justice. He has submitted representation to the President, the Prime Minister, the Home Minister, the Chief Minister and the Chairman and the Chief Administrator, HUDA, but to no avail.
The aggrieved leader has now decided to intensify the agitation by contacting leaders of various HUDA welfare associations in different districts till August 15. He would also request Lokpal I.P. Vasisht to investigate his case and punish the culprits.
Mr Aghi alleged that certain local HUDA officials, including an HCS officer, had harassed him in giving a no-dues certificate for his house and attacked him in the office. He lamented that no FIR had been registered in this connection so far.
