The Congress on Saturday condemned the state’s AAP government for challenging the High Court directing it to grant dearness allowance (DA) to its employees and pensioners on the Union Government pattern.
Punjab Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring said the move exposed AAP’s duplicity and hypocrisy. “On one hand, it held a special session in the name of labourers, and the very next day, it went ahead with a move to snatch away the benefit to about seven lakh government employees and pensioners,” he said.
