SAD demands high level probe into Punjab Police Recruitment Scam

Amritsar , October 2, 2021 (Yes Punjab News)
Former minister Bikram Singh Majithia today demanded a high level inquiry into the Rs 150 crore Punjab Police recruitment scam besides scrapping of the current recruitment process and holding of fresh tests to fill all available posts.

Holding a press conference here, Mr Bikram Majithia said it was shocking that even though a FIR had been registered in Patiala that fraudulent methods were used in the test held for recruitment of 560 Sub Inspectors , the entire process had not been scrapped till now.

“As per the FIR which has been registered at the Anaj Mandi police station it is clear that the paper of the candidate was done from outside the examination centre. It is clear that computers were hacked and other candidates also resorted to malpractices to clear the examination which involved seven lakh students for more than 5,500 posts including those of head constables and constables “.

Mr Majithia said even though it was becoming clear that this was a full fledged recruitment scam, the government was not acting on the issue. “We demand a CBI inquiry into the entire scam or one by a sitting judge of the Punjab and Haryana high court. The tentacles of this scam are spread across other States also and a number of Congress leaders as well as senior police officials are also involved in this scam and only an impartial inquiry will bring out the truth in the case”.

Condemning the complete silence on this issue by the Congress government, Mr Majithia demanded that the entire process should be held anew. “All those who have participated in the examination should be allowed to reappear for the same and they should not be charged any fee for appearing in the same test again”. He also demanded that the Punjab government get the paper conducted by its own agencies and that it should not be outsourced to any agency.

Answering a query about the harassment being done to farmers who had brought their paddy to mandis as per the earlier procurement date of October 1, Mr Majithia said it was condemnable that the State government had been caught sleeping on the issue.

“The truth is that no effort was made to make arrangements for smooth procurement of paddy from October 1 because top Congress leaders were involved in a battle for the top chair”. He said now that union government had postponed recruitment by ten days the State government should direct its agencies to start purchase of paddy immediately.

Answering another query, Mr Majithia said chief minister Charanjit Channi and his cabinet colleagues could not escape from their responsibility of failing to implement the promises made to the people of Punjab.

He said it was unfortunate that. Scheduled Caste chief minister was not being allowed to work by PCC chief Navjot Sidhu. “People are not concerned about the internal wrangling of the Congress party and only want their issues to be addressed and resolved. The Congress government should focus on this instead of focussing on loot of the State resources”.

Senior leader Anil Joshi was also present on the occasion.
