Speaking to mediapersons, Hooda said scams continued during the pandemic and persons linked to those in power continued to siphon off crores. He demanded a high-level probe and warned that the fight would shift to the streets if the government suppressed the voice of the Opposition in the House.

“The Congress had demanded that if the government wanted to complete formalities, only very important legislative functions should be dealt with,” he said.

“Instead of framing welfare policies, the focus of this government is on scams and retrenchment. Despite repeated appeals, the government has no empathy for sacked physical training instructors. There is a possibility that their paper may have been leaked not only in Hisar, but also in other places,” he added.
