CBI is making new revelations daily in the investigation of the Roshni Act land scamUnder this Roshni Act, CBI discloses the land scams by prominent leaders, bureaucrats, their families, and relatives every day. It is clear from these reports that political parties implementing government schemes tend to prioritize their profits by citing common people. Dr. Farooq Abdullah implemented this Act in the year 2001, citing poor farmers of Jammu and Kashmir. It was said in this Act that the government land on which farmers have been cultivating for many years, they can get it done in their names.

Other political parties also took advantage of the Roshni Act rather than exposing the corruption happening. Everyone took advantage of this scheme implemented by Dr. Farooq Abdullah and deposited thousands of rupees and got government land worth crores of rupees in the name of himself and his relatives.

The Jammu and Kashmir administration has instructed the beneficiaries to vacate the land within six months by canceling all the Act allocations. The administration has started the process of evacuating the land grabbed under this Act in all districts.
