Himachal Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Sunday said, “Whatever has happened in Janjehli in Tehsil Thunag of district Mandi was due to the false affidavit filed by the previous Congress Government in the court and the present Government has no role in the issue.”
He said that the present State Government has no role to play in the cancellation of SDM office at Janjehli along-with Sub Tehsil Chatri as this was the decision of the High Court in the wake of the false affidavit filed by the Congress.
The present situation was the result of the mismanagement of previous Congress regime, alleged Thakur.
The Congress Government before issuing a notification submitted an affidavit in the High Court containing distorted facts, on behalf of which the court issued the orders of cancellation of SDM office at Janjehli and Sub- tehsil Chatri, said Chief Minister, adding that the Government would approach the court and would place before it its version as well.
The Chief Minister also appealed to the people of the area to exercise patience and avoid agitations as the matter was pertaining to judiciary, and we should not dishonour the decision of the court.
“The Government has full faith in the judiciary and I am sure that the matter would certainly come to its logical conclusion”, he added.
We are looking into every aspect very closely and will soon come out with a solution, said he. The Chief Minister also cautioned the people to be aware of those who were trying to politicize the issue with a motive to create unrest.
We will certainly exercise all possibilities to get justice done and bring the people out of this situation, added he.
