Presiding over a state-level meeting of SC Wing, former Minister Gulzar Singh Ranike said that it was utterly shameful that the Additional Chief Secretary of his department has clearly indicted him for Rs. 64 crore fraud of SC Scholarship money, but Punjab CM is refusing to sack him.

Ranike said that the Congress government is playing with the sentiments of Dalit students from day one when it got power.
He said that it has not released scholarship money to the tune of Rs. 3000 crore which had been announced in budgets of previous years. He said that now the election is around the Corner Congress government is trying to befool Dalit students by announcing the relaunch of the SC scholarship scheme.
He said that during the last four years lakhs of SC students have been deprived of higher studies due to the non-release of scholarship money to the Educational Institutes.
He said that recently thousands of students were denied roll numbers for examinations simply because they had not got a 40 percent share from Punjab Government. He said that when all colleges threatened to block studies of these students, then the only government came forward and agreed to clear its dues.
