Probe to be ordered into alleged irregularities in recruitment & paper leak in Dr. Y S Parmar University: Jagat Singh Negi

Himachal Pradesh Government informed the state assembly that if any irregularities would be found in the paper leak of the recruitment process of Dr. Y. S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forest Nauni Solan government would order the probe to find the truth about involvement in the matter. 

This was stated by Horticulture Minister Jagat Singh Negi who was replying to a query asked by Congress member Kewal Singh Pathania( Nurpur) during the question hour on Wednesday. Minister said that if members have any information about the bungling in the recruitment and paper leak case they should hand it over to him and he would order the probe immediately.

Opposing the accusation made by the Congress member Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur said that members are making baseless charges on the paper leak and favoritism however University is an autonomous institution and could not be blamed recklessly by any members. He said that the recruitment process happens in the universities as per the provisions and there is no matter of paper leaks and members should not make unsubstantiated acquisitions. 

Mr. Jai Ram Thakur was intervened by the Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania that he could not give a reply to the query in the house and he should confine his participation in the query to question only. Then Jai Ram Thakur asked the minister if the government would order any probe in the matter provided the government had anything against the institutions.

Minister said that the leader of the opposition could speak on the issue but it is his duty and discretion to answer this reply. Mr. Negi stated he had already stated in the house that the government would definitely lodge a probe into the matter after going through the records.
