Chandigarh: The Cabinet of Amarinder Singh on Friday approved a proposal to appoint Minister of Cabinet Gurpreet Singh Kangar’s Son-Inlaw, Gursher Singh as excise and tax inspectors for loving reasons, in relaxation once treated as a precedent.
At the cabinet meeting, Chairman of the Minister Amarinder Singh noted that Gursher’s father, Bhupjit, had played a major role in blowing the whistle at Ravi Sidhu PPSC Scam to clean the Punjab Public Service Commission.
The source said the cabinet ministers did not object to proposals during the meeting.
“It comes as a routine item for appointments and almost no discussion,” said a minister.
This step was approaching the heel of the Congress Government who invited extensive criticism of the cabinet decision in June to offer government work to the men of two Congress.
Then, one of the MLA, Fateh Jung Bajwa refused the offer on behalf of his son.
The Council of Ministers has been divided into loyalty to the minister’s chairman amid internal chaos in the party state unit.
The Petitioner’s mother has been looking for government work for her son eight years after her husband’s death, although the rules say even delay for sincere reasons can be conditioned up to five years.
Bhupjit Singh, posted as excise and tax tax in the Excise and Tax Department, has died on September 28, 2011.
At that time, his son Gursher Singh had just finished his graduation in trade.
According to the official record, Jasbir Kaur, the wife of the late Bhupjit Singh, changed its application on June 26, 2020, (eight years after her husband’s death) had asked for work for his son, Gursher Singh.
In accordance with the government’s policy on November 21, 2002, and the Amandment Vide Mail dated December 28, 2005, the heirs of employees who died / officers must submit jobs in one year from the date of death.
This policy also clarifies that if there are original causes of delay, the application of candidates can be considered a delay of five years after obtaining special approval from the Department of Personnel, citing reasons for detail delay.
Also, it is claimed that Gursher Singh’s qualification, a bachelor’s degree in trade, will be beneficial for excise posts and tax inspectors.
Given the candidate qualifications and “contributions” carried out by Bhupjit Singh, excise and taxes during their tenure, the applicant has been considered for tax posts and tax inspectors, and the cabinet has decided to make exceptions of special reasons.
“There is nothing wrong with the promise of meeting to tell the media that his son-in-law will get the job even if he is not related to him and the economic status of the applicant does not oppose it.” The policy did not refer to the restrictions on the rich family from getting a job.
I have made several promises in the power department and income as ministers concerned for the past four years with similar lines.
My family entered the wedding alliance in 2016 and the Petitioner was very young when his father died.
The applicant has made efforts to get the job even during the Akali regime.
The way his family exposed to corruption is something that needs to be appreciated, “he said.
Kangar also claimed that he had never pursued a case with the minister’s chairman or at another level ‘such decisions put a question mark to the party and leader Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, one of the ministers’ Dissetrists’, did not appreciate the decision to offer government work to his cabinet colleagues, son-in-law Kangar.
He said after the meeting, “applicants who deserve to get a job but there is a need for introspection that instead of providing benefits to the Minister and MLA, we must think of general public wards.
It places a question mark at the party and state government when things like that come from elections.
We are representatives of people.
We must act in a way that has no questions in the US …
There is no doubt that his father has died, and he has the right to get the job.
“With the claim that the son of Kangar son-in-law comes from a rich family, Randhawa said,” That’s what I say, who need to get a job.
“Source, meanwhile, said the request to hold a physical meeting of the cabinet was also made by several ministers because they found it difficult to Discuss the right discussion
