Himachal Pradesh Vigilance Registers FIRs Against MLAs Amid Political Allegations
The Himachal Pradesh Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau has registered FIRs against Dharamshala MLA Sudhir Sharma and former MLA Hoshiyar Singh for alleged disproportionate assets and misuse of government funds. The bureau's preliminary enquiry found discrepancies between Sharma's assets and known income, prompting further investigation. BJP leaders, including Opposition Leader Jai Ram Thakur, have accused the Congress-led state government under Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu of using vigilance agencies for political vendetta, a claim denied by officials. The cases have sparked political debate over the impartiality of anti-corruption efforts.
