“Even now, the CBI is trying to scuttle the probe in the sacrilege cases, apparently at the behest of the BJP-led Central government,” the Chief Minister said.
The Chief Minister asserted that his government was committed to a thorough and fair probe into the alleged scholarship scam, and bring those found guilty, irrespective of their position, to book.
He pointed out that even in the matter of the post-matric SC scholarship, neither Harsimrat nor her party tried to stop the Central government from withdrawing the scheme, thus depriving lakhs of SC students the right to higher education. “Where was Harsimrat then? Why did she not comment then?” he asked, adding that instead of making unwarranted statements and unsubstantiated allegations, she should get the scheme restored first.
