Examgate: Ball in Sonia Gandhi’s court

Examgate claimed its first causality on Friday when Jammu and Kashmir school education minister Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed sent his resignation to AICC president Sonia Gandhi instead of chief minister Omar Abdullah. “I have submitted my resignation to the party high command”, said Peerzada.

This follows Crime Branch report purportedly indicting the officials of state Board of School Education for helping education minister’s foster son to allegedly cheat in class X examination in 2009.

Sources said Peerzada has levelled serious allegations against Omar in his resignation letter submitted to Sonia Gandhi.
