They demanded that BJP should raise its voice for early appointment of Chairman of Category Welfare Commission and supporting staff for the smooth functioning of the commission. The commission was constituted in December 2021 by the then state government to look after the interests of the general category. The delegation was led by Shyam Lal Sharma Chief Organiser and included Sukhbir Singh, Jaswant Singh Brar, Sudesh Kamal Paramjit Singh, Kuljeet Singh Ratol, president, and others. They also expressed resentment over withdrawal of promotion orders for Principals issued by the Punjab government after the SC ST commission wrote a letter to the Punjab government. There is a resentment among general category employees over this issue. Later, they met Vijay Sampla, Chairman of the National SC ST Commission, and apprised him about their problems. They sought his help so that promoted principals from the general category are not demoted. They stressed that SC ST employees are working on more than their share quota posts and this needs to be set right by giving due representation to general category employees as per their share quota. Later, in the evening different organisations in a meeting held urged the Punjab government not to implement the 85th amendment in the state and to stop reservation benefits to the creamy layer amongst SC ST employees.
