Documents in possession of Aaj Tak reveal that a statewide inquiry into these malpractices in a project piloted by the trust was ordered by the UP government on 12 January 2012 following a letter from the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. The ruling party Congress strongly defended Khurshid, but Social activist turned politician Arvind Kejriwal of Aam Aadmi Party began what he called "indefinite agitation" until legal action had been taken against the Khurshids. Currently, Uttar Pradesh Economic offence wing〔http://uppolice.up.nic.in/eow.html〕 is investigating the matter.〔http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2013-02-01/news/36684457_1_basis-of-primary-investigation-high-court-notice-zakir-hussain-memorial-trust〕 〔http://zeenews.india.com/news/uttar-pradesh/hc-notice-to-salman-khurshid-run-trust_826427.html〕 ==See also== *Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Operation dhritrashtra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
