DW BUREAU / chandigarh The Youth Akali Dal (YAD) today burnt effigies of SC Welfare minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot at all district headquarters in the State even as they demanded a CBI inquiry into the SC Scholarship scam and asked chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh not to shield the tainted minister at the cost of the future of Dalit students. Leading the protest at Mohali amidst slogans of "Sadhu nahi chor hai" and Captain da Sadhu chor hai", YAD President Parambans Singh Romana said it was a travesty of justice that even after it had been proved that Dharamsot had misappropriated Rs 69 crore belonging to SC students besides stopping distribution of Rs 309 crore and wrongfully distributing Rs 811 crore, no action was being taken against him. Giving details, Parambans Romana said the Additional chief secretary, who was incharge of the SC Welfare department, had formed a three member team which had come out with a report stating that there was no record of Rs 39 crore which had been released at the instance of the minister and that Rs 24 crore had been released by Dharamsot to educational institutions against whom recoveries were pending. "Despite this damming report against the minister the chief minister is trying to procure a clean chit for Dharamsot by marking another inquiry to the chief secretary. What will the chief secretary inquire now? We reject this inquiry and demand the immediate sack and arrest of Dharamsot and his accomplices or we will intensify the agitation against this thief", Romana added. (editor@dailyworld.in)
