In the field of higher education, the Congress MLAs of Punjab have come out in support of Education Minister Pargat Singh in protest against the allegations of alleged rigging in the recruitment of assistant professors. These leaders have hit back at the statement of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh, in which he has alleged rigging in the recruitment of Assistant Professor.
Terming Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal as the kingpin of mafia, Punjab Congress leaders said that he has no moral right to speak against Pargat Singh. According to the information given by the Punjab Congress, party MLAs Kuljit Singh Nagra, Barindermeet Singh Pahra, Kulbir Singh Zira and Amit Vij said in their joint statement that Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal had doubts about Pargat Singh's honesty. There is no moral right to disclose.
These Congress MLAs retaliated to Sukhbir Singh Badal's statement and said that Higher Education Minister Pargat Singh is working hard to bring reforms in the field of education, while Sukhbir Singh Badal worked as the kingpin of the mafia during his rule. While doing so, he has destroyed Punjab. These Congress leaders alleged that Badal did not recruit a single professor in government colleges during his 15-year tenure in two decades.
He said that now under the leadership of Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, reforms are being done in the field of education inside Punjab. After 25 years in the state, 1091 assistant professors are being recruited in government colleges. He said that instead of appreciating this move of the government, Sukhbir Singh Badal is making baseless allegations.
On the other hand, Higher Education Minister Pargat Singh made a serious allegation that Sukhbir Badal's anger about higher education is like Kangana Ranaut becoming an agricultural worker. During the 15 years of Akali rule there was not a single appointment of permanent assistant professors and our government colleges were left to ruin. He said that the whole process is very clean and fast. Although, we have not received any complaint, but allegations were made by some candidates against the VC of Panjab University, Patiala, which is being questioned.
