In a heated session on Tuesday, the Madhya Pradesh assembly witnessed the Opposition Congress targeting minister Vishvas Sarang over alleged irregularities in the granting of permissions to nursing colleges during his previous tenure as medical education minister.

The Congress demanded Sarang's resignation and called for a joint panel to probe the so-called 'nursing scam'. Dismissing the allegations as baseless, Sarang blamed the previous Congress government for the irregularities.

Amid heated exchanges, Congress MLAs staged a walk-out. The CBI, which started probing the alleged scam following a high court order, has arrested 13 people so far in connection with the case.
