‘They will prove to be an impediment for a fair probe’
A. Alam Pasha, complainant in a case alleging corruption against Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and Minister Murugesh Nirani into which the High Court of Karnataka recently allowed a probe, demanded that both the leaders should immediately resign so that “they do not frustrate the investigation and criminal proceedings against them”.
“They occupying powerful positions in the government will prove to be an impediment for a fair probe,” he said, addressing a press conference on Friday.
Significantly, this comes within days of Mr. Nirani being sworn in as a Minister and before Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s scheduled inauguration of his sugar factory in Bagalkot district on January 17.
