The ETT TET Qualified Unemployed Teachers Union accused Congress workers of assaulting them during a protest they held against the Punjab government on Friday.
The union said that some Congress leaders attacked them when they chanted slogans during Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla’s visit. The minister was attending a function at Sunami Gate.
Sources said six members of the union came to the venue where the minister was expected for a function. They were refused entry at first, but two managed to enter later, sources said. Once inside, they began chanting slogans, which irked some of the Congress workers present at the function, the sources said.
Don’t want clause
Sangrur residents alleged that the government had put a condition that after getting property rights, they would not be able to transfer the plot or house for 30 years to anyone
“If the government wants to help the poor, it must not set any condition,” said Vijay Sahni, senior SAD (D) leader from Sangrur
They alleged that the government had put a condition that after getting property rights, they could not transfer the plot or house for 30 years to anyone and that was unacceptable. Expecting appreciation but caught in crosshairs of newly launched scheme and fearing losing votes, senior Congress leaders have turned into foot soldiers and are visiting each house to convince residents about the benefits of the scheme.
