The Congress party on Friday accused the NDA government under former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee of soliciting a deal with Hizbul Mujahideen chief Sayeed Salahudeen in order to grant the terrorist's son admission into an MBBS programme.
"The son of terrorist and Hizbul Mujahideen chief Sayeed Salahudeen was granted admission in MBBS under the aegis of the Vajpayee government.
