BJP MLA Sudhir Sharma was questioned by Himachal Pradesh's Vigilance Bureau over a disproportionate assets case during the ongoing assembly session. Sharma and several BJP legislators criticized the timing and procedure, alleging political motives by the Congress government. The Vigilance Bureau stated Sharma was evasive on financial details, including contractors and payments related to his residence. Sharma denied wrongdoing and emphasized cooperation, while questioning why he was summoned to Shimla instead of Dharamshala, where the case is based.
