Congress gave VVIP treatment to Mukhtar Ansari in jail:
Earlier, there has been a big disclosure about Mukhtar Ansari. According to the report, the Congress government in Punjab had blown away lakhs of public money to give VVIP treatment to mafia Mukhtar Ansari in jail. Along with this, more than Rs 55 lakh was also spent to save Mukhtar Ansari from the Uttar Pradesh government. This has been revealed in the investigation of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of the state. Gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari was imprisoned for over two years in Punjab's Rupnagar jail.
An inquiry by the Bhagwant Mann government in the state has revealed that the Congress government spent Rs 11 lakh per hearing to a senior Supreme Court lawyer to fight Ansari's case. There were a total of 5 hearings in this case. Thus, a total of Rs 55 lakh of taxpayers was siphoned off on the fees of Mukhtar Ansari's lawyer. According to Jail Minister Harjot Bains, the lawyer allegedly took Rs 5 lakh on the day the hearing did not take place. The bills raised by the lawyer are still pending and the AAP government has refused to approve the bills.
