Himachal chief minister Virbhadra Singh on Thursday expressed regret over the reported statement of lawyer Prashant Bhushan that the state’s decision to vest the land purchased by KBES in the government was ‘political’.
Talking to mediapersons here, the chief minister said Kumud Bhushan Education Society (KBES), promoted by Bhushan’s family, had purchased the land in relaxation of certain laws and the land was not used for the specific purpose for which it was purchased.
He also recalled that a notice in this respect was issued by the previous BJP government.
The deputy commissioner, Kangra, had decided to vest the land in the name of the government after going exhaustibly through the case, he said.
‘I am sorry that a person like Prashant Bhushan, who enjoys a high status in the society, behaves
in a manner uncalled for and issue statements which are baseless,’ Virbhadra told reporters.
