Bajwa appeals Badal to sack education minister

Punjab Congress today sought dismissal of Education Minister Sikandar Singh Maluka in the wake of his reported indictment into the irregularities in the purchase of library books and science kits.
Punjab Congress Chief Partap Singh Bajwa appealed Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to dismiss the minister, saying that "a central probe team has found Maluka guilty of misappropriation of funds given under the Sarv Sikhya Abhiyan (SSA) and Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA)".
Bajwa said the Punjab Congress had highlighted the misappropriation of central funds by the minister and "their stand has been vindicated by the report of the probe panel," he said in a statement.

According to media reports, a Central probe team has indicted Maluka in the textbook scam case.
