Majithia requested a clear statement on whether the name appears in the published list and, if so, on what basis the candidate was selected.
As of now, Minister Harbhajan Singh has not issued a formal response to the query. The matter has been forwarded to the relevant authorities for clarification, and the cabinet is expected to address the concerns in an upcoming meeting.
The controversy underscores the need for stringent checks in the recruitment process and highlights the political pressure surrounding public service appointments in Punjab.
