Imphal, January 08 2023:
Refuting the allegation levelled against him and a functionary of Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) and questioning the ground for the accusations, additional chief engineer (ACE) in-charge of Rural Engineering Department (RED) Kh Rajen has said that he will sue Congress party for defaming him.
Addressing a press meet here on Sunday, Rajen said that his service was reengaged on contract basis by a cabinet decision.
Joint secretary Ng Roben simply put his signature as an authorised signatory on the order for his service reengagement.
Till date, he is not involved in any case related with PMGSY.
In his long career, he has not held the power of DDO and as such, there is no room for corrupt practice.
The allegation levelled by MPCC has no ground as he is neither involved in any fund disbursement nor there is any scam in PMGSY to his knowledge.
He had served legal notice to MPCC demanding their apology for defaming him.
He will file a lawsuit against MPCC if the party fails to apologise for their act, he added.
