The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) staged a protest in Panchkula on Monday, accusing the Haryana BJP government of favoring non-local candidates for gazetted roles. Led by INLD chief Abhay Singh Chautala, the demonstration targeted alleged biases in recruiting for Group A and B government positions.
INLD leaders claimed that 90% of the appointments were from outside Haryana, undermining local employment efforts. The protest culminated in a memorandum to the state's governor, demanding immediate action to curb this trend. The BJP claims the process is transparent, attributing the controversy to political maneuvering.
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini dismissed the accusations as unfounded, reiterating that recruitment is merit-based and open to all across the nation. He emphasized that the Constitution permits employment mobility, reflecting fair practice and transparency in Haryana's recruitment procedures.
