Chandigarh/New Delhi: Ashok Khemka, an IAS officer of the Haryana cadre who had cancelled the mutation of a land deal involving Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra, may be deputed to the federal government in two-three weeks, a federal official said yesterday.
However, the Haryana government maintained that it has not received any communication in this regard.
“It seems that Khemka would come on central deputation in two-three weeks,” an official of the Department of Personnel and Training told IANS in New Delhi.
Sources in Chandigarh also said Khemka has been cleared to be a joint secretary in the federal government, but the Haryana government refused comment.
“We have not received any communication in this regard so far. We cannot comment on this,” a senior bureaucrat told IANS in Chandigarh.
Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda was also dismissive about the issue.
“This is an administrative matter,” he told the media in Chandigarh yesterday.
Khemka had sought federal deputation in April.
The 1991-batch IAS officer has been transferred 44 times in 22 years of his career.
