Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh on Friday rejected Justice Zora Singh Commission report on the Bargadi sacrilege and the subsequent police firing on the unarmed protestors that led to death of two people.
“The commission has defeated the very purpose it was constituted for…It appears to have worked overtime to hide what actually was needed to be revealed,” said Capt Amarinder. He pointed out, “Its mandate was not to fix the compensation for those killed or injured, but to arrive at an unambiguous conclusion as who was responsible for the sacrilege and who was responsible for the killing of the protestors.”
“Surprisingly, Justice Zora Singh has not even touched those topics…It has only vindicated our apprehensions from day one that the Commission was merely an attempt at cover up rather than arriving at the truth,” he said,
