Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh is ready to resign.
Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains on Thursday, July 23, said he was prepared to resign if doing so would help improve the state’s education and examination system, rejecting Opposition allegations that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government had failed to ensure transparency after reports of malpractice in a pharmacy recruitment examination.
“The irregularities in the pharmacy examination were identified by our own government and administration. We have adopted a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, paper leaks and cheating. If my resignation can contribute to making Punjab’s education and examination system stronger, I am ready to step down today itself,” Bains said.
Now what excuse does our education minister Dharmendra Pradhan have?
