At release of his book, Justice Gill blames Dera followers for conspiring in sacrilege cases

Chandigarh, January 19

Justice Ranjit Singh Gill (retd) who headed the Judicial Commission into various cases of sacrilege on Wednesday squarely blamed the Dera followers for conspiring the sacrilege and carrying out the incidents.

He also blamed the then DGP Sumedh Singh Saini and then CM Parkash Singh Badal for police firing on the protesters.

He made these comments on the release of his book ‘The Sacrilege’ based on his investigation into the cases.

He also blamed the SAD-BJP and Congress governments for inaction on his report.

About the timing of the release of the book close to the elections, he said he had no political aim. “It is just a coincidence that the book is released now. We wanted to release it earlier but there were technical issues.”

Justice Gill said he had held police and politicians responsible on the basis of his inferences and conclusions based on material evidence.
