SRINAGAR: The ration card that identifies Independent MLA Sheikh Abdul Rasheed as a BPL beneficiary has been “canceled” but no action has been taken against anyone in connection with the matter, the Jammu and Kashmir Government informed the Legislative Assembly today.
“There is no ration card in the name of Engineer Abdul Rasheed as was informed by him yesterday. However, his father is a BPL ration card holder which states that Rasheed is a family member.
“Subsequently, the name of the ration card holder has been excluded from the BPL list,” State Revenue Minister Basharat Bukhari told the assembly.
“He (Rasheed) is not the head of the family. So there is no ration card in his name,” Bukhari said.
Rasheed, the Langate MLA, had yesterday informed the House that his name figured in the list of BPL beneficiaries. To this, Bukhari had said action will be taken against the Tehsildar of Langate area if his claim was found to be true. (AGENCIES)
