SC/BC Teachers Association Punjab President Baljit Singh Salana, Executive President Krishan Singh Duggan, General Secretary Lachman Singh Nabipur, Finance Secretary Gurpreet Singh Guru, Senior Vice President Balwinder Singh Latala, Harbans Lal Parjian, Vice President Gursewak Singh Kaler, Vice President Parwinder Bharti, Secretary Veer Singh Moga, Press Secretary Harpal Singh Tarn Taran issued a press statement saying that thousands of people in Punjab have obtained SC/BC status by getting fake caste certificates and fake disability certificates made.
They are doing government jobs by becoming employees in various departments, violating the rights of the candidates. The leaders of the organization have repeatedly written letters to the chairman and members of the SC Welfare Assembly Committee to investigate fake caste and disability certificates and take action against fake certificate holders, but unfortunately, even after two and a half years, this committee has failed to resolve the issues of SC/BC people, which the organization strongly condemns.
Similarly, the members who won from 34 reserved constituencies of Punjab Assembly are also silent on the legitimate and fair issues of SC/BC people and employees. They are silent spectators to the implementation of the 85th amendment of the Constitution on the rights of SC employees in Punjab. The unconstitutional letter of 10-10-2014 has also been rejected till date.
CMLA did not say anything in the Assembly. The decisions given by the Supreme Court and Punjab/Haryana High Court in favor of SC people are also not being implemented properly by various departments of the Punjab Government and the Recruitment Board of the Education Department. Therefore, if SC representatives who became members of the Legislative Assembly and ministers by taking political reservation shy away from solving the legitimate and fair issues of SC/BC people, then the organization feels that political reservation is of no benefit to SC/BC people.
The leaders of the SC wing of the AAP party also keep smiling and watch the oppression being done on the society and do nothing. If the representatives and officers of the Punjab government keep protecting people with fake caste and handicapped certificates in this way, then the MLAs who enjoy political power by taking advantage of political reservation will also be taken to task. And in the coming times, the SC/BC Teachers Association will be ready for a struggle against the ministers with the support of brotherhood organizations of Punjab.
