AAP delegation meets Punjab Governor to discuss issues

Chandigarh, May 11: A delegation of Aam Aadmi Party MLAs under the leadership of the leader of opposition in Punjab Vidhan Sabha, Adv. H.S. Phoolka on Thursday met Punjab Governor VP Singh Badnore at Punjab Raj Bhawan to raise the important issues related to the common people of Punjab.

The delegation raised the issues of private schools charging heavy fees from students in contradiction to the Hon’ble court and government directions, to provide relief to farmers by waiving off the farmers loan, scams by the chit fund companies like pearl, crown etc and deteriorated law and order situation in Punjab.

Phoolka said the private schools in the state are charging heavy amount of fees from students not only on the name of annual admission fee but also re-admission fees, books and school uniforms. The schools are flaying the guidelines of government and Hon’ble court.  He said that in Government schools, books and uniforms have not been provided to students especially belonging to economically weaker sections (EWS) and the action of private schools is clear violation of Right to Education (RTE) act which has not being implemented by a State Government.

Phoolka said the Law and Order situation in the State is going from bad to worse. The main reason for deterioration of law and order is that the members of the ruling party are trying to take over the control of illegal trades and goonda tax. Such illegal trades and goonda tax was earlier controlled by the Akali Dal leaders and now instead of stopping the illegal trades and goonda tax, the Congress leaders are taking over control of the same.
