Journalist get top secret files if he had credibility of protecting identity of source.

Gustakhi Maaf Haryana- Pawan Kumar Bansal.

Journalist,s credibility of protecting identity of source gets him top secret government files -old memories when Manohar Lal was CM of Haryana.When I got envelop containing minutes of meeting of High Powered Purchase Committee headed by then CM Manohar Lal. It was scoop.One one early morning door bell of flat rang and as soon as I came out a person enquired ” Are you Pawan Kumar Bansal” .On my confirmation he again checked and gave me an envelope telling that Sahib has sent. After my morning tea when I opened the envelope it was big gift for me.

In fact during those days I was getting information that a powerful politician of Haryana wants that firm of his choice should be given contact for supplying pipes under flagship program of PM Narender Modi called “Atal pure drinking water scheme”.But since that firm was tainted hence its bid could not be considered in the meeting of High Powered Purchase Committee.So the powerful politician invented a formula to accommodate his favourite firm.He instructed the officers to postpone orders worth Rs eight hundred crores for next meeting.Althouh information was from authentic source but I needed the official documents.

Tailpiece.The envelope had copy of minutes of High Powered Purchase Committe in which it was written that Chairman of High Powered Purchase Committe has desired that orders worth Rs eight hundred crores should be deferred.And everyone knows that who is chairman of high powered purchase committee.
