Bharatiya Janata Party Member of Legislative Council (MLC) P.V.N. Madhav has described the recovery of money by the government from the GPF accounts of employees as a ‘daylight robbery’.
Addressing the media here on Thursday, he questioned how such a large-scale withdrawal of funds from 80,000 accounts can be attributed to a technical glitch in the Comprehensive Financial Management System (CFMS).
“The money was debited from the employees’ accounts last November too. How can it happen without the knowledge of the officials concerned? The government is supposed to be the custodian of the employees’ savings lying in their GPF accounts. However, it apparently took back the money in a surreptitious manner and is now giving some lame excuses,” said Mr. Madhav.
