Bringing one such case of embezzlement to light, Senior BJP Leader and Punjab State Chief BJP Investor Cell, Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal rued massive irregularities in appointments and otherwise in Khalsa College for Women.
Grewal stated that Khalsa College for Women, Civil Lines, Ludhiana advertised a position for the post of Lecturer in Business Management on regular basis as per the qualifications and conditions laid down by the University Grants Commission on 15th March, 2009 through various vernacular dailies.
“Call Letters for Interview were issued to a favourable few on 29th July, 2009 which can be substantiated from the fact that the candidates who were not even UGC Net cleared were also issued call letters wherein UGC Net was the primary qualification requirement for the above position as advertised and as per the UGC, Punjab Government and Punjab University rules”, added Grewal.
Further, Panelists of Punjab University who interviewed the candidates on 07th August, 2009 were influenced to ensure they recommend a specific candidate of choice of the Principal and Management of Khalsa College for Women. “Considering blatant violations in the selection procedure, I requested information about the selection procedure and file notings etc. under Right to Information Act, 2005 on 03rd September, 2009 through Registered Post but till date the Public Information Officer of the Khalsa College for Women was unable to respond to that despite repeated reminder and elapse of 1 month deadline under the act.”
It is worth mentioning that college authorities didn’t gave a damn to the instructions of the Honourable Vice Chancellor, Punjab University who also ordered them to provide the information requested under Right to Information Act on time to the applicant.
Grewal stated that he will now appeal to the appellate authority to provide the aforesaid information and will ensure that the guilty are brought to book and the excellent candidate gets its right.
