Srinagar: Senior Congress leader and legislator from Inderwal G M Saroori has moved Privilege Motion against PDP Minister for Rural Development Department (RDD) for “irregularities and violations” of rules in allotting work and transferring of block officers.
Talking to KNS, Saroori said that 20 days ago he moved the motion before the Speaker Assembly Kavinder Gupta against RDD minister Abdul Haq Khan with “evidences and facts”.

“I have evidence and orders where the minister has transferred BDOs within a fortnight, giving choicest posting to some BDOs, making them incharge for three CD blocks,” he said.
“As per law, I have moved the motion and I stand by it. I will produce the evidence before the committee which the speaker will appoint for probe,” he said.
Saroori said that in Inderwal assembly segment, the minister have given powers to VLWs for maintaining accounts in BDOs offices which “as per government circular cannot be done”.
