Union Home Minister Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde has ordered an inquiry and audit in to the border area grant scam, which will be conducted by the union home secretary in a time bound period. This was directed yesterday after S Partap Singh Bajwa, MP, Gurdaspur handed over the memorandum to the union home minister alongwith congress delegation comprising of Sukhjinder Randhawa, S S Sukhsarkaria both MLA”s and Harpartap S Ajnala senior congress leader. Mr Bajwa also shot a letter to the union home minister demanding a CBI probe in the matter of BADP funds being misused in the ministers own constituency.
Bajwa said Although a vigilance probe is on in the matter and the minister concerned has also resigned but still there is need to give the investigation to an independent agency like CBI so that the truth comes before and the culprits are punished. The union government should also stop the further grants being given to the Punjab government till the probe is on and order the audit of all the central sponsored schemes being run in the last five years in the state of Punjab.
