Chandigarh, June 1, 2013: Continuing protest against Punjab Education Minister Sikandar Singh Maluka for his alleged involvement in infamous book scam, the Congress workers led by former MLA and PPCC Vice President Rana K.P Singh today laid seize of residence of Maluka in Kansal village near here.
Congress workers raised slogans against Maluka and SAD-BJP government and demanded to sack him.
Rana K. P. Singh while addressing the protestors demanded CBI probe into the book scam and flayed the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal for shielding the disgraced minister. He said that what Maluka has done is not only a financial scam; it was an immoral act to supply books with vulgar content to the primary school children. He alleged that Maluka had hatched conspiracy to loot Rs.46 crores of Sarv Sikhya Abhiyan sent by center government. He said that PPCC President Partap Singh Bajwa had already taken the center government the issue of misuse of central funds.
Singh expressed his dissatisfaction over the probe ordered by Chief Minister by a retired judge. He said that it would have been better if Maluka himself offered to resign on moral grounds. He said that alleged financial irregularities were made in library books, practical note books, science kits and map masters.
Earlier, the Congress workers led by Jagmohan Singh Kang had held dharna outside residence of Maluka.
Tomorrow the members of National Students Union would stage dharna and all frontal organisations of Congress will continue the protest, a party spokes person said.
