Punjab Congress SC Department burns effigy of Chief Minister over Barnala lathi charge on sanitation workers
Chandigarh 28 July ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : The Scheduled Caste Department of the Punjab Congress today staged a protest by burning an effigy of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, condemning the alleged lathi charge on protesting sanitation workers in Barnala. Addressing the protest, Punjab Congress SC Department National Coordinator Sudhir Chaudhary said the sanitation workers had been peacefully protesting for several days, demanding the regularisation of their services from temporary to permanent employment. Instead of addressing their legitimate demands, the Punjab Government resorted to police action and lathi-charged the protesters.
He termed the incident “inhuman and unacceptable” and accused the Bhagwant Mann government of suppressing the voices of Dalits, sanitation workers and other marginalised sections instead of ensuring justice and dignity for them. Sudhir Chaudhary demanded the immediate termination of the officers responsible for the lathi charge, registration of an FIR against the guilty officials, and strict legal action to ensure accountability. He said the Congress Party would continue to stand firmly with sanitation workers and would not allow the government to intimidate those fighting for their rights. He further stated that the Punjab Congress SC Department would continue its struggle until justice is delivered to the sanitation workers and their genuine demands are addressed.
