Rafiabad, Nov 5: Former minister and senior Congress leader Abdul Gani Vakil Monday said that anybody facing charges of corruption or land grabbing, whether he is a minister, bureaucrat or politician, should face inquiry to come clean.
 “Becoming a hurdle in investigation by seeking intervention or favours from different quarters is raising doubts amongst people,” he said. “Any politician, minister or bureaucrat accused of being involved in land encroachments or corruption should be open for any investigation to prove his innocence.”
 He said that Congress cannot be silent on corruption issue as “this has made life of poor people miserable and Government should leave no stone unturned in eradicating the menace.”
 Vakil was addressing a party convention at Achabal Rafiabad today.
 Vakil said that his tirade against corruption will continue for the welfare of people. “I am following the mission of Congress President Sonia Gandhi and its General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on corruption. Sonia and Rahul instructions are that every Congress man should raise voice against corruption even if the person involved is from within the party. I am following their orders and want to make the Congress strong.”
