SAD rejects Soni's inquiry, seeks high level independent probe

Chandigarh, Nov 14 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) outrightly rejected the inquiry ordered by Education Minister O P Soni to fix responsibility for the mistakes in the history books for class 12 to be conducted by the Education Secretary is a major cover up and a farce as accusing fingers are raised at the minister himself.
Stating this here on Wednesday, SAD senior vice- president Dr Daljeet Singh Cheema questioned the rationale of Mr Soni ordering an enquiry while he himself is accused by none other than the chairman of the Oversight Committee appointed by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.
Instead of holding inquiry by a secretary at the orders of the concerned minister, Dr Cheema argued that the Chief Minister himself should have ordered inquiry which should have been held by a retired judge of the Punjab and Haryana high court with a clear frame of reference the role of the concerned minister too be probed in the larger interest of justice.
