Chandigarh: Main opposition party in Haryana, the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) here on Saturday released more video clips, in which the party has alleged that six Congress legislators and their relatives are seen indulging in "corrupt practices in lieu of getting the Change of Land Use (CLUs) done," a charge rejected as baseless by Congress.
This comes a day after the Haryana Assembly witnessed pandemonium over a CD, purportedly showing Chief Parliamentary Secretary Ram Kishen Fouji demanding bribe for getting a CLU done in Gurgaon.
Ellenabad MLA and party's senior leader Abhay Singh Chautala told reporters here that in the name of getting CLU done in various parts of the state, these legislators and their relatives can be seen demanding bribe.
Congress dismissed the allegations, accusing INLD of indulging in "dirty politics".
Congress MLA from Nalwa assembly constituency, Sampat Singh attacked the INLD for trying to malign his image and that of his son Gaurav Singh with the issue of CLU CD.
This, he said was a well planned conspiracy of INLD because he had left their party (INLD).
Sampat Singh had served as Finance Minister in the erstwhile INLD Government and had remained in the party for 32 years before switching over to the Congress over three years back.
He said that he was having legal discussions with lawyers about the whole CD issue, in which his son has purportedly been shown.
Among whose video clips were released in the form of the CDs include some MLAs, a youth leader of the Congress and son of a legislator, who also served as former Minister in the state.
Chautala demanded a high-level independent probe into the "scandal" and registration of criminal cases against the "accused".
Abhay, younger son of former Chief Minister O P Chautala, alleged that the Hooda government had been hit by a number of land scams.
"Our party demands a judicial probe into the land scams...CLUs have been done for over 21,000 acres of land during the tenure of the Hooda regime," he said, adding the land scams have brought a "bad name to Haryana".
Yesterday on the opening day of the monsoon session of the state Assembly, the Speaker suspended for the remainder of the session the 29 members of the opposition INLD and one of the BJP for their gross unruly behaviour, as they did not allow the Question Hour to start, wanting that the government first clear the air on the Fouji CD issue.
Fouji had denied the allegations against him and maintained that the CD had been doctored.
