Reacting to reports suggesting that the kin of various Congress and government functionaries had been accommodated in the new legal team, the Chief Minister said all appointments were cleared independently, without bias or prejudice, and solely on account of individual’s background, proficiency and experience. He said similar considerations were taken into account in the appointment of all law officers, including the daughter of Congress MLA Fateh Singh Bajwa. It was unfortunate that a political colour was being sought to be given to the appointments, said the Chief Minister, adding that a candidate’s family connections could not be allowed to be a consideration in the matter of professional appointments. Taking such a view would lead to depriving such candidates the opportunity they deserve and, at the same time, deprive the state government of the services of efficient and meritorious professionals, he added.
