The Punjab Cabinet on Friday decided to appoint Arjun Pratap Singh Bajwa and Bhisham Pandey to the posts of inspector in the Punjab Police and naib tehsildar in the Revenue Department, respectively. Amid criticism from the Opposition, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Saturday defended his government's decision to give government jobs to the sons of two Congress MLAs on “compassionate” grounds, saying it was a recognition of the sacrifices made by their grandfathers for the country.
