Congress MLA Fatehjang Singh Bajwa has been under fire from some party colleagues and the Opposition over the issue after the Punjab cabinet last week approved a proposal to appoint his son as an inspector in the Punjab Police.
Congress MLA Fatehjang Singh Bajwa on Thursday said he has declined the government job offer for his son and asked state party chief Sunil Jakhar and two ministers of setting a similar precedence. Mr Bajwa has been under fire from some party colleagues and the Opposition over the issue after the Punjab cabinet last week approved a proposal to appoint his son Arjun Partap Singh Bajwa as an inspector in the Punjab Police. Apart from the Opposition, several Congress leaders, including state party president Sunil Jakhar, had questioned the government decision. Five ministers--Sukhjinder Randhawa, Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa, Razia Sultana, Charanjit Singh Channi and Sukhbinder Sarkaria--had also opposed the move in a cabinet meeting.More Related News
