Now that misappropriation of central ration by a Congress legislator in Jalandhar has been proved beyond measure, it is incumbent on the chief minister to order a criminal case against the Congress legislator as well as officials who handed over the ration to Congress functionaries instead of distributing the same among the poor and needy." Punjab government has abolished provision in ACR to give 8 marks to teachers who promote Punjabi : Dr. Cheema "The chief minister should also hand over the case for investigation to the CBI or any other central agency as it is clear that Congress leaders have been misappropriating wheat and pulses sent by the centre to the State," he added.
