Why is chairman of key watchdog team stifling debate?

TENSIONS ARE RISING within a watchdog team reviewing a matter of great national interest. Members privately accuse the chairperson of allegedly stifling debate and shutting down tough questions for officials. Sources say his repeated interruptions during probing sessions have supposedly sideline critics, preventing full scrutiny of the matter, whose outcome has major economic and security implications. Some of the key members suspect the chairman is apparently under political pressure to fast-track the process and avoid uncomfortable examination.

A LARGE SHADOW looms over first-year admissions at a popular university, with parents questioning whether someone was deliberately scuttling the process.
