said the President’s office had been informed about the controversies.
Today, Pratibha inaugurated the People’s Centre for Scientific Research and Development, a private entity that runs a chain of hospitals and institutes about which an “adverse report” had been sent to Rashtrapati Bhavan.
State home secretary Sanjay Rana said sending such reports prior to VVIP visits was standard practice. People’s centre public relations officer Anil Khanna, however, insisted no such report was sought or sent.
That wasn’t all. Later today, members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the BJP’s youth wing, braved rain to protest against the President’s inauguration of an “illegal” building of the Bhoj Open University. The structure is said to have come up against civic norms.
