Govt scholarship launched to cover up scam, says AAP

Jalandhar, November 3

AAP leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema today said the state government had launched Dr BR Ambedkar SC Post-Matric Scholarship as it wanted to cover up the multi-crore scam which had alleged involvement of its minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot.

Addressing mediapersons here today, Cheema demanded that the ‘tainted’ minister be sacked immediately and arrested along with his ‘henchmen’allegedly involved in the scam. He added that if Captain Amarinder continued to procrastinate over the issue, the AAP government, if voted to power in 2022, would ensure that minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, along with his gang, was put behind bars.

Cheema, who was here with party MLAs Manjit Singh Bilaspur, Master Baldev Singh and Rajvinder Kaur, alleged that the state government was following in the footsteps of the previous Badal government. — TNS
