Chandigarh : Congress Legislative Party leader Sunil Jakhar on Friday accused the state government of harassing poor people of the state by declaring them as bogus pensioners.
Jakhar claimed that the SAD-BJP Government was targeting Congress workers and sympathisers by sending them recovery notices.
He said that these poor people, who do not have money to have their meals, would find it difficult to pay such huge amounts.
In a press statement, Jakhar said that these pensioners were being threatened with legal action in case they do not pay back the pension amount.
The CLP leader said that a political conspiracy was being hatched in the garb of Punjab & Haryana High Court order through which the poor old age pensioners only who were affiliated with Congress were sent recovery
notices of thousands of rupees.
Expressing anguish, Jakhar said the issue was to be raised in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha but he was not granted permission for this, which proved the anti-poor attitude of the SAD-BJP government.
