SHIMLA : GEETA CHOPRA
In a perplexing turn of events, the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu government finds itself under scrutiny for its inaction against Dr. H K Chaudhary, the former Vice-Chancellor of a Agriculture University Palampur.
Dr. Chaudhary retired on August 21, 2023, after his extension was denied due to a slew of alleged corruption charges that have shaken the academic community.
What has raised eyebrows is the government’s failure to take any immediate action or issue a public notification for the appointment of a new regular Vice-Chancellor even after 21 days of Dr. Chaudhary’s retirement.
This silence has ignited concerns among the public, who are questioning why Dr. Chaudhary remains untouched by legal proceedings.
In a written press statement, National Heads of 3 anti corruption organizations as Mr. Naseeb Singh, National Chief, Corruption Investigation & Anti Corruption Bureau (CIAB), Mr. Rajesh Suryavanshi, Chairman SHMAC- Mission Against Corruption, Chief India Against Corruption Bureau have stepped into the fray, demanding that the government initiate legal action against Dr. Chaudhary and substantiate the corruption charges that have been widely reported in the media.
The allegations against Dr. Chaudhary have been circulating in various news outlets, raising questions about the integrity of the education system.
The pressing question remains: who or what is influencing the government’s reluctance to pursue legal action against Dr. Chaudhary despite the mounting evidence and public outcry? As the situation continues to unfold, citizens are left eagerly awaiting answers and justice for what could be a watershed moment in the fight against corruption within academia.
