New Delhi: The Congress
Thursday termed as "insulting" Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal's
writing to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and enclosing a cheque
regarding a service matter relating to him and said the former
revenue officer should have written to his senior on the issue.
Congress spokesman Raashid Alvi said Kejriwal should have written
to his superior officer who would have been the competent
authority to take note of the matter.
"Kejriwal writing his letter to prime minister is insulting the
office of the prime minister. I don't know what designation
Kejriwal held when he was in service. He should have written to
his immediate superior officer in government who would have been
the competent authority to take note of it," Alvi said.
Kejriwal Thursday wrote to the Prime Minister complaining that he
had been wrongly slapped with a recovery notice of Rs.9.27 lakh by
the tax authorities. He enclosed a cheque for the Rs.9,27,787 and
said he was depositing it "under protest".
The social activist said in the letter that the government should
not trouble people who had given me loan to return the money.
Alvi also took a dig former police officer Kiran Bedi, another
Team Anna member, saying she may also write to the prime minister
after returning the excess amount she had taken from the NGOs as
her travel expenses.
Answering queries, Alvi said Hazare would have taken his vow of
silence to avoid uncomfortable questions over controversies
surrounding some of his team members.
"One of the team members says there should be a plebiscite in
Jammu and Kashmir, the other travels in economy class but charges
additional amount from NGOs, and the third declares an individual
is above Constitution. It is indeed difficult to answer questions
on these issues," Alvi said.
