Punjab Post-Matric Scholarship Scam: BJP says it is 959-cr fraud, demands dismissal of Dharamsot

Phagwara, Aug 28 (UNI) Bharatiya Janata Party MP and Union Minister Som Parkash Friday claimed that Punjab Post-Matric Scholarship Scam was not as small as it was being projected to be.
He said the Scam said to be worth Rs.63.91-crore was in fact much larger and the amount involved was not less than Rs.959-crore.
Union Minister of State Som Parkash while talking to UNI correspondent here on Friday, said it was highly unfortunate that Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh was shielding his Cabinet colleague Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, who has been indicted by the secretary and the Addl Chief Secretary of his government.“Capt Amarinder Singh-led Congress government has been playing with the sentiments, the aspirations and the future of the Scheduled Castes since it came into being and the Chief Minister has turned a blind eye to the irregularities in the distribution of funds and frauds committed with the SC community, the youth of which was being denied their rightful scholarships,” he said.
