Bir Devinder: Will move court if Harmanpreet retained as DSP

Patiala, July 14

“In the case of Harmanpreet Kaur for her retention as DSP despite of her fake graduation degree and I will move the court against officers who cleared her appointment,” claimed former deputy speaker Bir Devinder Singh.

“No doubt she is an ace cricketer and has made India proud. But the crime she has committed in misleading the police department by furnishing a fake degree can’t be condoned or overlooked by any parameter of law. It is not an ordinary lapse on her part. It is a deliberate misdemeanors and forgery against the state. If she begins her career by cheating the same department in which she is going to serve, how she can become a role model for others to follow,” questioned Bir Devinder.

“The CM has unduly gone over the board to get her relieved from the Indian Railways where she had already furnished a bond to serve the Railways for the period specified in the bond. There is certainly no harm in encouraging and giving incentives to sportspersons, but not to those who grab positions by cheating. If any departure is gambled in this case by betraying the law of the land, I will challenge the same in the court of law, making all senior police officers party, who put their signatures on the file for her retention in the police as such,” he said. — TNS
