Chautala's parole: AAP govt refuses to relent after Jung's clarification

October 29, 2015 23:19

A day after Lt Governor Najeeb Jung refuted the accusation of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal that he "presurised" Home Minister Satyendar Jain to grant parole to former Haryana CM O P Chautala, the AAP dispensation claimed the matter refers to a fresh parole plea filed by Chautala.

An official said that Chautala had filed a fresh plea on October 16 after his first plea for parole was rejected by LG on October 5 earlier this month. "Government had recommended rejection of the fresh parole plea of former Haryana Chief Minister.

Lt Governor should clarify that why he had summoned Jain on October 21 and then pressurised him to grant parole to Chautala," a government official said. INLD leader Om Prakash Chautala is serving a decade-long jail term in teachers' recruitment scam case.

Sources said within days of the parole plea being rejected on October 5, another plea had been filed by Chautala on October 16, after which the Delhi Home Minister had been summoned by Jung on October 21.
