Srinagar July 25 (KNS): Reacting sharply to statement issued by the Apni Party on the ongoing CBI probe in arms license scam, Peoples Conference General Secretary Imran Reza Ansari has said that raids and investigations cannot define justice and a hardworking IAS officer cannot overnight be dubbed as violator of law. 

Statement issued to Kashmir News Service reads, "I fail to understand how a political party has decided to offer its unsolicited views in an ongoing investigation. If law is really to take its course then the queue would be really long. Someone who till yesterday was an honourable hardworking IAS officer looked up by youngsters cannot overnight be dubbed as violator of law." 

Imran said the Peoples Conference has been at the forefront in criticising the bureaucracy for lack of deliverance but such issues can’t be turned into a personal fight. 

"I personally know the officer and I am sure he will come out clean. Our party has been at the forefront in criticising the bureaucracy for lack of deliverance. But we can’t make it into a personal fight. We know what problem the Apni party has with this bureaucrat. Using petty familial issues to actually target an achiever and demand for his arrest is shameful behaviour", he concluded.(KNS)
