I have not seen the (media) reports. I do not know whether the pages are absent from the file. But, if they are, it is a serious matter," Singh told reporters outside Parliament House here.<br /><br />Singh, the Planning Minister in the Narendra Modi Cabinet, is a former Congress leader from Haryana who later quit the party and joined BJP.<br /><br />An RTI query filed by IAS officer Ashok Khemka has found that two pages of a file pertaining to the land deal between DLF and Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, are missing from government records following which he has sought the registration of an FIR in the matter.<br /><br />Khemka, who had over two years back cancelled mutation of the deal in question, said that official notings pertaining to the setting up of a three-member committee -- which had given a clean chit to Vadra's firm -- are "missing" from the main file.
