Reacting over the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s decision to set up a new Special Investigating Team (SIT) by rejecting the probe reports of the Punjab Government-constituted SIT, headed by Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, to investigate 2015 Kotkapura firing case, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday said that it seems less of the HC’s decision and more the decision of mutual association between Capt Amarinder Singh and the Badals.
AAP’s Punjab unit president and Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann, addressing the media, accused the Badals and Capt Amarinder of complicity, saying that the Badals had withdrawn all of Capt Amarinder’s cases at the last moment of their Government. “Now, Captain is withdrawing cases of the Badals in the last year of his Government. The only difference between the two is that the witness in the Captain’s case turned hostile and in Badal’s case, the lawyer turned hostile,” he added.
Accusing the Amarinder Government of having a “weak lawyer”, Mann said that not having a big lawyer in such a big case was a planned conspiracy of the Captain government. Mann demanded that if the Congress Government really wanted to bring justice to the victims of this case and punish the accused, “they should bring good and big lawyers in the Court on their behalf”.
