CHANDIGARH: Five-time Punjab chief minister and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Parkash Singh Badal will look following a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Kotkapura authorities shooting the event of 2015 in his house in Chandigarh on June 22.
Before, Badal had voiced inability to appear before the board on June 16, citing ill-health along with his era.
“Nevertheless not in great health, Mr Badal nevertheless is eager to satisfy his lawful and constitutional responsibilities as a law abiding citizen of the nation,” a statement Harcharan Bains, chief adviser to SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal said on Sunday.
In his two-page reaction to the rally in the SIT exploring the handling of their Kotkapura episodes by the former administration, Badal a week explained,”that the whole procedure of investigation stands compromised through overt and unapologetic political hindrance and it reeks too closely of political vendetta to inspire any assurance in a reasonable procedure of law has been followed” Regardless of that, Badal had stated, he can”cooperate fully” with all the investigative procedure.
The former primary minster had pointed out that even the need for the current SIT has”appeared out of their brazen politicisation of this situation from the last SIT”.
In this respect, Badal’d come down significantly against”among those members of their former SIT” because of his”publicly political behavior” that had supposedly subverted the whole investigative procedure.
“With ruthless and contemptuous disregard for several of the established processes and standards, this innovation entirely usurped and appropriated for himself that the whole operation and designated function of the rest of the members of the SIT, such as its chairman, also left them completely redundant,” Badal’d stated.
Badal has been the chief minister of Punjab as soon as the authorities had opened fire on protesters at Kotkapura on October 14, 2015, killing two and injuring other people.
The SIT is to determine as to who gave the orders to start fire, if the cops fired from self-defence and when normal operating procedure was followed closely.
