Deccan Chronicle: Dehradun: Sunday, July 01, 2018.
In a dramatic
turn of events, a query filed by RTI activist Praveen Sharma has revealed that
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat's wife Sunita Rawat has been
posted in the same Dehradun school for the last 22 years.
Sunita Rawat
is currently posted in a school in Dehradun's Ajabpur Kalan since 1996 despite
receiving a promotion in 2008, the RTI query revealed.
"We had
asked Uttarakhand CM about the posting of his wife. Earlier, they responded
indirectly but after we appealed, their answer was quite shocking for us as she
is posted in Dehradun for the last 22 years," said Praveen who faced a few
difficulties while obtaining the information.
Praveen also
accused Sunita Rawat of buying huge acres of land and, therefore, demanded a
proper investigation into the matter.
"She has
brought huge acres of land in Uttarakhand. We want the court to investigate
from where did she buy amass this property. We want the governor to take action
against his wife. It is a matter of concern, as no employee can buy any
property without providing information to the concerned department,"
Praveen said.
Uttarakhand
Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat had on Thursday ordered the suspension of
school teacher Uttara Bahuguna, who allegedly used abusive language during a
Janata Darbar session while seeking a transfer from a remote location where she
was posted for last 25 years.
