A day after former Arunachal CM Kalikho Pul’s wife, Dangwimsai, appealed to Chief Justice of India for a CBI inquiry into allegations mentioned in her late husband’s diaries, the Pema Khandu government has asked the Union Home Ministry to get the matter probed by any agency it deemed fit. A meeting of the state Cabinet that was held in Itanagar Saturday evening, which discussed in detail the contents of Pul’s diary that has been in circulation in a section of the media, also dismissed allegations against some senior government functionaries contained there as “totally baseless, false and without any evidence” WATCH: “The Cabinet further resolved, without any prejudice to the matter being sub-judice in the Court of the CJM, ICC, the said note ‘Mere Vichar’ — which is in circulation in the media, to be forwarded to Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India for investigation by any agency as deemed fit,” a press release issued by the CMO in Itanagar on Sunday said. The Cabinet also noted that the names of senior politicians have been referred to in the copy of ‘Mere Vichar’ downloaded from the news portal that carried it last week. “The Cabinet, after detailed deliberations on the observations made by late Kalikho Pul in his note ‘Mere Vichar’ against all the aforementioned government functionaries resolved that they are totally baseless, false and without any evidence/basis,” it said.
