YAD demands CBI inquiry and custodial interrogation of Balwinder Dhaliwal in SC scam
Youth Akali Dal (YAD) demanded a CBI inquiry and custodial interrogation of former Social Welfare Director turned Congress legislator Balwinder Singh Dhaliwal to uncover the money trail and receipt of bribes by the Pradesh Congress as well as the Congress high command. It also announced to intensify its agitation against all the perpetrators of the SC Scholarship scam, including SC Welfare minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot and the Congress legislator.
The YAD President Parambans Singh Romana said it was clear after Balwinder Dhaliwal’s indictment in the wrongful distribution of Rs 16.91 crore to private educational institutions that the officer had purchased the Congress ticket for the Phagwara assembly byelection last year.
“Dhaliwal came out of the blue to emerge as a dark horse after resigning days before being given the party ticket from Phagwara after ignoring senior Congress leaders including former minister Joginder Singh Mann. The only plausible reason for this is that he had immense funds at his disposal after swindling money due to Dalit students on account of the SC scholarship”.
Parambans Romana said it needed to be detected as to who all from among Pradesh Congress President Sunil Jakhar, chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh, Congress Punjab affairs in-charge Asha Kumari, and former party president Rahul Gandhi had been compromised by the former officer.

“The very fact that Sunil Jakhar and Capt Amarinder Singh are trying to put a lid on the scam indicate that they are hand in glove with the scamsters. Now custodial interrogation of Balwinder Dhaliwal is necessary to define the money trail as well as put all those who have spoiled the future of lakhs of Dalit students behind bars”.
