Hussainiwala (Punjab), March 23 : Fulfilling one of the major election promises, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday released a WhatsApp Number which he said can be used by the people to make the state corruption-free within a month. After paying glowing tributes at a function here to revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, who were hanged on this day in Lahore in 1931, the Chief Minister said people could send video recording of corruption to 9501200200 which he described as an Anti-Corruption Action Line. “If any Minister, MLA, officer or official demands bribe or commission from you for any work…don’t say no to him but make a audio/video clip of this and send it… The government will enquire and if anyone is found guilty, he/she will not be spared at any cost,” the Aam Aadmi Party leader asserted. The Chief Minister said he had promised to root out corruption. Achieving this, he said, would be a real tribute to the martyrs like Bhagat Singh. “We made a commitment to the people to ensure a clean and transparent governance, which would be delivered at all cost. Our government will take the message of martyrs to each and every house so that the dreams of martyrs can be realised,” he added. Referring to initiatives of AAP taken in public interest, Mann pointed out that his government had decided to provide government jobs to unemployed youth and regularise the services of contractual employees. He added that some other major welfare decisions would be taken shortly. After paying tributes to the martyrs, the Chief Minister noted in the Visitors’ book: “Bowing head before the memorials of Shaheed-E-Azam Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev gave me immense solace…….Bringing the independence of their dreams to every book and corner is call of the day. Praying for betterment of Punjab and Punjabis as desired by the martyrs.” He also paid tributes at the memorials of Rajmata Vidyawati and revolutionary martyr B K Dutt. DB MR
