Minister for Primary Education and Literacy B.C. Nagesh has decided to file a defamation case against the president of Registered Unaided Private Schools Management Association (RUPSA).
He told reporters on Monday: “I will file a defamation case in court against those who have made baseless and false allegations against me.”
He said: “Allegations of corruption have been alleged against the Education Department. However, no complaints have been made to our office in this regard. No complaint has been lodged with the Commissioner’s office either. If a complaint is filed with evidence, appropriate inquiry will be conducted against the official concerned and action will be taken. The complaint can also be lodged with the investigating agencies and courts. Complaints with evidence are freely welcome. However, making baseless accusations displays height of irresponsibility.’’
