Congress Deputy leader in the lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh on Wednesday rejected the Punjab Government’s decision to constitute a judicial commission to probe into the molestation and murder of a girl in an Orbit bus. “Since the matter is pending in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, there was no point in setting up a parallel probe”, Capt Amarinder said in a statement issued here. The former CM pointed out, the Punjab and Haryana High Court had already taken suo motto notice of the issue and the matter was pending it with now while maintaining that Parkash Singh Badal should have faith in Punjab and Haryana High Court.
Capt Amarinder also took a jibe at Badal for setting up a committee for measures to be taken for the safety of women in buses in Punjab. “Badal is simply trying to divert the public attention in his characteristic style instead of addressing the real issue”, he observed, while pointing out, “the issue is the absolute failure of your Government that has led to total collapse of the law and order which is being manifested in incidents like Moga and others”.
