AAP Punjab CM Mann ‘brazenly’ violates 'oath of secrecy
Makes confidential correspondence between him and Governor public

CHANDIGARH, Oct 21: Amid controversy with Governor Banwarilal Purohit over the appointment of Dr. Satbir Singh Gosal as Vice Chancellor of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann landed into a controversy by brazenly violating ‘oath of secrecy.
Bir Devinder Singh, former Deputy Speaker, of Punjab Vidhan Sabha slammed Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for releasing correspondence between him and Governor Banwarilal Purohit in the media in advance.
Singh said that CM Mann has violated the 'Oath of Secrecy. “If there is persistent scrimmage and procrastination between the two constitutional authorities of the State; the vital interests of the state suffer and by implication people of the State are put to needless agony”, he said. The Governor of the State and the Chief Minister, both are constitutional authorities and their role and jurisdiction is also well-defined, under the Constitution of India. The role and the overriding authority of the Governor is clearly defined and thoroughly articulated under Article 167 and 168 of the constitution. Schedule 3 of the Indian Constitution deals with the Oaths or Affirmations and also an oath of Secrecy for Ministers of the States that includes the Chief Minister of the State. The Oath of Secrecy was administered to Bhagwant Mann by the Governor Banwarilal Purohit in a stipulated format of the oath form.
“ I Bhagwant Mann do swear in the name of God that I will not directly or indirectly communicate or reveal to any person or persons any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as a the Chief Minister for the State of Punjab except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as Chief Minister”,” Bir Devinder noted.
"Now in the current tug of war between the Governor and the Chief Minister over the issue of appointment of Dr. Satbir Singh Gosal as the Vice Chancellor of The Punjab Agriculture University, rather than sorting out the issue amicably with Governor of the State, The Chief Minister Mr. Bhagwant Mann has committed another wrong and further vexed the tangle and complicated the issue beyond comprehension.
The Punjab Raj Bhawan in the milieu of the controversy, over two unidentical letters, purported to have written by the CM, has the upper hand; because one letter written in English was sent to the Governor and the other one circulated to the media in advance, was written in Punjabi and was also posted on the Twitter of the Chief Minister.
