Chandigarh, June 13
Congress Rajya Sabha MP Partap Singh Bajwa has termed the summoning of former CM Parkash Singh Badal by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the Kotkapura police firing case, as a step in the right direction.
In the earlier probe that was set aside by the Punjab and Haryana HC, it had been observed that the previous SIT had not arraigned Badals as accused. “I had specifically stated that instead of challenging the HC judgment before the SC, a new SIT should be constituted and the investigation should be concluded within 30-45 days. The need of the hour is to conduct a fair investigation wherein the role of Badals and former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini are brought out. They should be made to face a trial for their illegal actions,” he said. — TNS
