‘Probe into case of misuse of govt funds by panel comes as retaliatory action, in display of loyalty to ruling party’
CALLING the allegations of misuse of government funds 'baseless', the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) said on Saturday that the probe ordered in the matter by the L-G VK Saxena is a tactic to save a BJP leader whose school is under the scanner of the panel.
DCPCR member Abhinandita Dayal Mathur said that the body found serious lapses during its investigation of a East Delhi based school run by BJP leader Kuljeet Chahal.
"The school received serious complaints from parents, and during the DCPCR investigation, several norms were found to be violated, leading to actions against the school. The reality is that the L-G's actions of ordering this investigation are to retaliate and display alleged loyalty towards the BJP.
