Inquiry reports never blamed Badals for 2015 police firing cases, says ex-Minister
Former Minister and Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Tuesday accused the ruling Congress party of spreading false narrative against senior SAD leadership in the police firing cases of 2015 post sacrilege protests in Faridkot district. “Contrary to the Congress party’s falsehoods, inquiry reports of both Justice Ranjit Singh Commission and the Special Investigation Team filed by officer Kunwar Vijay Pratap never blamed the then Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal or Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal in the cases,” he said at a press conference. “In fact, both reports categorically refused to indict them for either the firing or the sacrilege incidents in question. Nowhere in the reports’ recommendations is either Parkash Singh Badal or Sukhbir Badal found guilty of any wrongdoing on the allegations levelled against them by their political opponents.”
