Responding to the BJP’s demand for an investigation into the assets of former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat, the Congress said it is ready for any kind of probe and a “non-political” commission can be set up for the purpose.

Former minister, Pritam Singh, and advisor to the former Chief Minister, Surendra Kumar, told mediapersons in Dehradun, the party is ready for a probe into the assets Rawat earned during his tenure in office.

They said the Uttarakhand High Court Chief Justice should be requested to set up a five-member “non-political” probe commission to look into the matter.

State BJP chief Ajay Bhatt had on Friday levelled corruption allegations against the former Chief Minister and his ministers and demanded a probe into their assets.
