Senior congress leader alleges nepotism in vaccination camps, stages protest outside civil hospital
Phagwara, 13 August 2021 : Miffed over nepotism in organizing vaccination camp for facilitating people to combat Covid 19 pandemic, former Punjab Minister and Chairman of Punjab Agro Industries Corporation Joginder Singh Mann today staged protest at the local Civil Hospital.
Mann, accompanied by several hundred Congress workers, said that at this crucial juncture when the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has launched a full scale war against the pandemic by ensuring free vaccination to all. However, he said that the local MLA and his coterie is playing cheap and dirty politics during the drive too by stalling the vaccination camps in Phagwara. He said that instead of ensuring that vaccination reaches to all the people, the MLA is stooping too low by interfering in the smooth execution of the camps by the health department.
He said that Health department too is acting a puppet in the hands of the MLA and is indulging in nepotism thereby putting the life of the common people of Phagwara in peril. He said that it will not be tolerated as the interest of people is of paramount importance and the camps will be organized only at the places where it is required the most instead of whims and fancies of the MLA. He said that in a democratic set up everyone has right over the facilities of government and it cannot be limited only to chosen ones.
Mann, a three time former MLA from Phagwara, bemoaned that in his entire political career he has not seen democracy stopping too low. He said that interests of Phagwara residents have been of paramount significance for him and no one will be allowed to play havoc with them. He said that he has been serving the residents Of Phagwara since 1985 and will fight for every wrong thing which aims at harming the interests of Phagwara residents.
