BJP playing politics over Negi’s death case: Himachal minister Vikramaditya Singh

Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Vikramaditya Singh today accused the BJP of politicising the Vimal Negi death case. He said that there’s was no point in the BJP giving a memorandum pertaining to Vimal Negi’s death case to Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla when the case had already been handed over to the CBI.

He said that the government would complete its full term and the conspiracies of the BJP would not make any difference. “The BJP is involved in witch-hunting merely for some political gains,” he added.

The minister said that the Opposition should refrain from doing politics over Negi’s death. “There are some issues where one should rise above party politics and work towards ensuring justice,” he added.

The minister, while addressing mediapersons, said that the state government was committed to providing justice to Negi’s family and would cooperate with the CBI at all levels. “The government accepts the High Court’s decision to hand over the case to the CBI. The government will cooperate with the agency wherever it will require assistance,” he added.

He said that the government would not tolerate indiscipline. “The Chief Minister is very clear on this and has taken action against the erring officers. No one is above law and service rules,” he added.
