Jaipur, June 2 (NationPress) BJP MLA from Pokharan, Mahant Partap Puri, claimed on Monday that Shakur Khan Mangalia, the ex-private secretary of former Congress minister Shale Mohmmad, received political protection and traveled to Pakistan without the necessary official clearance.
He stressed that not only Khan but also those who extended him political protection will undergo thorough investigation.
MLA Mahant Partap Puri pointed out that Shakur Khan had a longstanding association with Shale Mohmmad and had access to sensitive events, including military programs in the region.
"There is a significant possibility that confidential information may have been compromised," stated Partap Puri.
"It is alarming and regrettable that the minister was oblivious to the activities of someone so closely connected to him," he added.
He further disclosed to the media that he has alerted Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and BJP state president Madan Rathore, and has also reached out to the party’s central leadership.
Both Sharma and Rathore have acknowledged the gravity of the situation and assured appropriate action.
Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat is also reportedly taking the issue very seriously. Partap Puri expressed concerns about ongoing suspicious activities in border areas and emphasized the need for monitoring institutions established by former public representatives under the guise of religion and education.
He recalled that in 2013, a history sheet was opened against Shale Mohmmad’s father, Ghazi Khan, by then SP Pankaj Choudhary, but the case was later dropped due to political pressure.
He raised doubts about whether political influence in local development schemes had resulted in irregular land allocations and called for a probe into the assets and foreign trips of regional public representatives.
Pratappuri also alleged that a pornographic CD case involving Shale Mohmmad had been covered up due to political patronage.
“No one involved in matters concerning national security should be treated lightly,” he emphasized.
“In light of Shakur Khan's arrest, locals are now questioning whether the previous actions of SP Pankaj Choudhary could have prevented such security breaches,” he remarked.
Point of View
We must emphasize the importance of transparency and accountability in public office. The allegations made by Mahant Partap Puri highlight a critical issue concerning national security that warrants thorough investigation. The involvement of political figures in such matters raises questions about integrity and trust in our institutions.
