Sidhu Moosewala: According to news agency ANI, the Punjab Government on Thursday served state Health Secretary Ajoy Sharma with a show-cause notice for contacting the Centre regarding Sidhu Moosewala’s mother’s IVF procedure without first bringing the problem to the notice of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Within two weeks, Sharma has been asked to respond to the question of why disciplinary action shouldn’t be taken against him.
AAP Leader’s Allegations
Speaking about the matter, AAP leader Malvinder Singh Kang claimed that the Punjab Health Secretary had received a letter for failing to notify the state’s chief minister and health minister of the problem. He also claimed that the Centre was interfering with the state.
“We have also issued a letter to the Punjab Health Secretary asking why did he not bring the letter to the knowledge of the CM and Health Minister of the state. There is full interference from the Government of India. Punjab Government has nothing to do with this,” he said.
Notice from Punjab Government
