Congress links Irani daughter to ‘illegal bar’, mantri hits back | India News


NEW DELHI / MARGAO: Conference on Saturday demanded that the Union Minister Smriti Irani was fired, alleging that a response to an RTI query showed that her daughter was running an “illegal bar” in Goa, after obtaining a “fake license” for it.
Parliament speaker Pawan Khera and Goa party head Amit Patkar made the allegations at separate press conferences, targeting Irani and her family. Calling this a “very serious matter”, Khera also shared a copy of the purported show cause notice given to the bar and alleges that the consumption official gave the notice to was transferred after pressure from the authorities.
In Margao, Patkar said the license for the bar, allegedly run by Irani’s family in Assagao, had been fraudulently obtained and demanded that Irani clarify the matter.
“The applicant for a liquor license presented an Aadhaar card on December 30, 2020; bought papers stamped the next day and applied for a liquor license; and filed an affidavit that was not notarized. A police report dated January 22, 2021, states that the applicant is not a resident of Goa as he claims, but a resident of Vile Parle (E). The Bureau of Consumption ignored the report and issued two liquor licenses to the applicant, one IMFL retail license and the other foreign liquor license,” said Patkar.
He said on June 22, 2022, the person applied to renew the license while the death certificate showed that he died on May 17, 2021.
“We demand from the Prime Minister that Smriti Irani be immediately removed from his position as Minister from the Union cabinet. You owe this country, the youth of this country,” Khera said. “Was this done without her knowledge and the license was granted without her influence,” he asked.
Referring to the case of the National Herald against Sonia and Rahul GandhiKhera asked, “…we wanted to ask her what’s wrong with those newspaper bars.”
The BJP attacked the Gandhi family for their alleged role in the case in which the ED questioned Sonia and Rahul.
