The Congress legislators were alleging that state Sports, Youth Welfare and Co-operative Minister Vishwas Sarang, who was the former Medical Education Minister, gave incorrect information to the House in his reply on the nursing scam issue. The Congress has charged that Sarang’s false reply amounts to a breach of privilege.
From the onset of the session on 3 July, the Congress has been targeting Sarang over the issue and demanding his resignation.
