BJP on Sunday welcomed the state government’s decision for ordering judicial inquiry into the infamous Madanwada police-Naxal encounter where 29 security personnel, including the then SP Rajnandgaon VK Choubey were killed in 2009.
The party hoped that the judicial commission will be able to reach to the bottom of the alleged conspiracy that had claimed lives of 29 policemen more than ten years ago.
“Despite constituting of judicial commission it is still doubtful that the government will initiate any serious step towards uprooting Naxalism from Chhattisgarh,” Jayprakash Chandravanshi, the BJP legal cell coordinator said.
It is still hard to believe that the government will allow the commission to reach any solid conclusion, added.
He alleged that the current Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel while was in opposition claimed of having solid evidences pertaining to Jheerm Ghati massacre, but has failed to ensure justice even after completing a year in the CM office.
Notably, state government has decided to constitute a judicial commission headed by Justice (retd.) Shambunath Shrivastava to conduct a probe into the Madanwada incident.
The incident had raised questions over the involvement of the then IG (Now ADG under suspension) Mukesh Gupta. SP, VK Choubey was later awarded with Kirti Chakara by the President of India.
