Didn’t Order Police Action; Captain -A Characterless and Opportunist Politician, says Badal

CHANDIGARH—Coming forth after four days of the presentation of Justice Ranjit Singh’s investigation report in Punjab assembly, the SAD patron Parkash Badal has said that neither anyone from the Administration talked to him about opening fire on protesting Sikhs nor he ordered anyone to open fire. “I remained in touch with the District Administration of Faridkot and DGP even after the midnight hours as the situation was extremely sensitive” he said while adding that he made every possible effort to maintain peace in Punjab.  

Badal further said that he had given the probe of sacrilege cases to the CBI on the request of various Sikh organizations so that the sacrilege cases could be concluded with satisfactions of all. “Beside it, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was also appointed which worked hard rationally due to which the new Congress led Punjab government also directed it to continue working” he added.

Terming the appointment of Justice Ranjit Singh led Investigation Commission as an attempt to malign SAD’s image, Badal said that the new commission failed in holding him responsible for the Kotkapura and Behbal Klan firing incidents despite all efforts.   

Badal also questioned over the working of Captain while saying that Captain Amarinder Singh posed his party as a biggest pro-Panthik party August 28 but within 72 hours he depicted his real face by paying tribute to the former CM Beant “Singh”. 

Reacting to Captain’s remarks like coward and liar for him, Badal said that it didn’t surprise him as he expects the same from a profligate, characterless and an opportunist personality like Captain Amarinder Singh. “Captain Amarinder Singh represents a party which is responsible for the worst and the most painful sacrilege against Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji when Indira Gandhi ordered an attack on Sri Akal Takht Sahib. Countless corpuses of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji were desecrated by the forces,” he claimed while accusing the Congress government of again playing with fire and trying to push Punjab back into the era of violence and bloodshed.
