LAW MAKERS BECOME LAW BREAKERS IN UNAUTHORISED CONSTRUCTIONS (SEE ATTACHMENTS)



Documents received under RTI Act reveal shocking details that our law-making Parliamentarians are privileged law-breakers because unauthorized constructions carried out by them in government-provided bungalows are not bulldozed till they are on posts! Surprisingly long list of such law-breaking Parliamentarians include members from all the political parties.



List provided by CPWD deliberately ignores unauthorized statue of late Babu Jagjiwanram ji at bungalow number 6 Krishna Menon Marg (New Delhi) earlier put by present Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar when the said bungalow was allotted to her in her capacity as Parliamentarian or Union Minister as also admitted by Directorate of Estate under an earlier RTI response.



Parliamentarians should be role-model for enforcing rule of law. Union government should take immediate steps to remove all unauthorized structures from government-bungalows without waiting for these to be vacated by present privileged VVIP occupants.
