Patiala: Tarsem Saini has resigned as chairman of the Saini Welfare Board on Friday. He was appointed as the chairman just three months ago by the previous Akali-BJP led government. Saini is also the president of the Punjab Rice Millers Association. He said “Though I am not associated with any political party or front, the Akali-BJP alliance appointed me for the job. So it is my moral responsibility to step down.” Meanwhile, Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, Cabinet Minister for Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes, said “We have not demanded any resignation from anybody. After assuming the charge, we will appoint the new chairman. Our first priority is to serve people and fulfil all our promises made before the elections.”— OC
