Cong approaches Lokayukta over varsity appointments

The leader of the opposition in Madhya Pradesh Assembly, Satyadev Katare, today submitted a memorandum to the state Lokayukta alleging irregularities in the appointments at the Makhanlal Chaturvedi University of Journalism here.
Several appointments at the varsity were made on the basis of 'note sheets' issued by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Katare alleged.
In some cases, note sheets had been issued on the very day the person joined, the Congress leader further claimed.
The appointments were later ratified by the university's general body, which was constitutionally invalid, the Congress leader added.
