MP refutes allegations Jind, February 2 Speaking at a hurriedly called news conference, Jai Prakash described the news items being aired by a news channel, naming him as one of the friends or known of the accused doctors as baseless. The channel has reportedly been claiming that name of a Congress MP from Haryana has surfaced during the probe into the scam by the Moradabad police. Jai Prakash is a confidante of the Haryana Chief Minister. He said there were at least four MPs in the present Parliament sharing the name, Jai Prakash. He has threatened to sue the news channel, saying that he was ready to resign and leave the politics if his involvement in the racket was proved.
