HC verdict on Kotkapura firing exposed Cong-AAP nexus: SAD

Chandigarh, April 24

The SAD today said the “politically motivated” inquiry launched by Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh in league with the AAP in sacrilege cases and the linked police firing cases had proved that the Congress government and its collaborators were not interested in nailing the real culprits and were only playing politics over the sensitive issue.

Senior party leaders Maheshinder Singh Grewal and Daljit Singh Cheema, addressing a press conference here, said the recent Punjab and Haryana High Court verdict in the Kotkapura firing case had exposed the “unholy nexus” between the Congress and AAP to defame the SAD as well as Sikh institutions.

They alleged AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal was hand in glove with the Congress in promoting and defending former IG Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, charged with executing the conspiracy. They said since a direct criminal conspiracy had been proved following the HC verdict, the former IG be charge-sheeted, booked and arrested for his misdeeds.
