Sukhbir Singh Badal condemns CM for giving jobs to wards of Cong MLAs

Chandigarh, Jun 18 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Friday while condemning chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh for giving jobs in the police and revenue department to wards of Congress legislators to save his chair, said all such illegal appointments would be quashed once the SAD-BSP alliance formed the government in the State in 2022.
In a statement here, the SAD President said it was shocking that while the poor and meritorious were awaiting jobs under the ‘ghar ghar naukari’ scheme of the Congress government the latter had changed the scheme to ‘kewal Congress ghar naukari’. “Earlier rules were given the go by to appoint former chief minister Beant Singh’s grandson as a DSP on fake compassionate grounds. Now, again false compassionate grounds have been created to give jobs to the sons of Congress legislators Fatehjgang Singh and Rakesh Pandey who have been appointed to the posts of Inspector and Naib Tehsilder respectively”.
Terming the appointments as illegal, Mr Sukhbir Badal said jobs could not be given to the wards of the legislators in lieu of the alleged sacrifice of their grand fathers. “It is deplorable that the chief minister has given this false premise while explaining the act which is aimed at saving his chair in the ongoing tussle in the Punjab Congress party. The chief minister of all persons should know the contents of the FIR which was registered when former minister Satnam Singh Bajwa was shot down in 1987. The FIR stated that Satnam Bajwa was killed in a case involving personal rivalry. Where is the question of sacrifice in this case on the basis of which Bajwa’s grand-son is being rewarded with a government job 33 years after his grandfather’s death?”, Mr Badal asked.
