Himachal minister approaches speaker invoking anti-defection law against 3 MLAs
The three MLAs' petition is pending in the high court against the Speaker for not approving their resignation from the State Legislative Assembly.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on Friday said that he will challenge the order of the Delhi High Court dismissing his petition to quash disproportionate assets case filed by the CBI against him.
“I will take legal opinion and challenge it before the double bench of the High Court or in Supreme Court,” Singh told reporters on Friday.
Singh called the corruption cases against him as political vendetta. “Three agencies are separately probing the same case. Earlier, the case was being investigated by Income Tax, then CBI filed a FIR in the case, and later the Enforcement Directorate,” he said.

He said he had full faith in judiciary. “The harassment by the investigating agencies will only win me more support of people of the state,” he said.
Singh said the assembly elections in the state will be held on scheduled and not at the whims and fancies of the BJP.
