CHANDIGARH: Former Haryana chief minister and leader of opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda said on Saturday that the BJP-JJP government has turned the Parivar Pehchan Patra into a weapon to cut the pension of the elderly and the ration card of the poor.
"Without any information and investigation, the government is indiscriminately stopping people's pension and ration. Pensions of about 5 lakh elderly people and ration cards of about 10 lakh poor families have been cut so far by showing random & baseless incomes in family identity cards. The Elderly and poor families are now visiting government offices, but they are unable to get any relief," Hooda said.
