The Karnataka Government informed the Legislative Assembly on September 15 that it is ready for a discussion on the alleged scam in the recruitment of police sub-inspectors (PSIs), which will encompass recruitment in previous governments as well.
The House witnessed a heated debate between ruling BJP and opposition Congress members when Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah sought a debate on the alleged scam by moving an adjournment motion, which was opposed by the government.
Mr. Siddaramaiah said he would raise issues related to the alleged PSI scam without going into the merit of the case. “It is the responsibility of the opposition to raise the issue, which has been receiving wide publicity in the media. Moreover, there were several allegations of involvement of legislators and ministers in the scam. ADGP Amrit Paul is among those who have been arrested,” he pointed out.
