NURPUR, SEPTEMBER 17

The Himachal Pradesh Congress has threatened to hold protest demonstrations at all district headquarters in the state if the state government fails to order a CBI inquiry into the fake degree scam involving a private university established in the state during the previous BJP regime.

Rajinder Rana, state vice president of the Congress, said here today that the Congress had been demanding a CBI probe into the scam within and outside the Assembly for the past one year as the government had failed to bring the truth before the people of the state. He alleged that the inquiry being conducted by the Special Investigating Team (SIT) constituted by the government was an eyewash paving the way for the culprits to escape scot-free.
