Vadra, who has recently been issued a notice by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for his alleged involvement in a land scam in Bikaner, said it had been a decade but no government had been able to prove any charges against him.

“Almost a decade of government’s false and baseless accusations against me! They cannot prove anything without proof and there is nothing there to prove,” said Vadra.

“I will always be used for political gains, I know... But I will walk with my head held high as in time and with the truth, which will conquer incorrect perceptions, created about me,” he added.

Vadra’s statement comes at a time when Justice SN Dhingra Commission, which was set up to probe land deals in Gurgaon, including one between realty major DLF and Skylight Hospitality of Vadra, has informed the Haryana government that the probe had been completed.

The BJP had made Vadra’s land deals a prominent poll issue ahead of the general election and Haryana assembly polls. ANI
