Abohar : State Congress vice president Sunil Jakhar on Sunday slammed Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his Deputy Sukhbir Badal for taking “exceptional pains” to challenge the High Court verdict against the appointment of Chief Parliamentary Secretaries.
Speaking at a meeting in Khuyiansarwer village, he said the Badals had not shown such interest and action to approach the Supreme Court over the Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal issue.
He said the state government had mortgaged immovable properties to pay salaries to its staff and contract/ad hoc employees awaited regularisation of services. Jakhar said scholarships to SC, ST and OBC students were yet to be distributed, poll promise of pension to widows and needy elderly persons was not fulfilled, farm workers were alleging bias over the release in compensation for damage to cotton crop but this government didn’t want to deprive its legislators of unconstitutional post of Chief Parliamentary Secretary, he said.
