I have a doubt in this underlined part.Please help me understand
The recently retired Comptroller & Auditor General Vinod Rai’s conduct raises important issues of propriety that neither the gravity of the scams he exposed in his reports nor the media hype over his book can obscure.
What is meant by issues of here?
And what difference would it make to the meaning of the sentence if we use issue of?
Thank you.
