The Aam Aadmi Party has expressed shock over BJP's Haryana government's decision to transfer whistle blower IAS officer Ashok Khemka yet again.

Khemka, a known anti-corruption crusader was moved to the department of archeology and museums as secretary and director general by an order of the Haryana government issued on Wednesday.

Khemka's new department is considered as cold storage for bureaucrats. He was holding the position of secretary and transport commissioner and had launched a drive against transport mafia.

It was the first time in decades in Haryana that powerful dumper lobby was feeling the heat. This caused discomfort in power corridors and Khemka was transferred for the 46th time in his career.
