Activities over the infamous VYAPAM scam of the State have once again hotted up as all the four whistleblowers of the scam called on Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on Tuesday evening. Congress general secretary and MP Digvijay Singh was also present on the occasion.
All the four whistleblowers - Anand Rai, Ashish Chaturvedi, Ajay Dubey and Prashant Pande of the State reached New Delhi on the invitation of Sonia and Rahul on Tuesday evening.
Though the whistleblowers Rai, Chaturvedi, Dubey and Pande after meeting the Congress leaders said that the meeting was in respect with the Whistleblowers Protection Act but we discussed about the slow pace of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) enquiry into the country’s biggest educational and recruitment scam the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) scam that has gone infamous as VYAPAM scam.
The whistleblowers met Congress president and vice president at the official residence of Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday evening. Congress president talked with them for about twenty minutes while the vice president talked with them for about forty minutes.
Rights Activist Ajay Dubey while talking to ‘The Pioneer’ over telephone from New Delhi said, “The draft of the Whistleblowers Protection Act that was prepared during the UPA regime has been weakened by the current BJP Government and this weakened act has been passed in the lok Sabha, this would now be brought in the Rajya Sabha. Before that we would meet the leaders of all Opposition parties and would demand amendment in it.”
