Advising caution and restraint, Punjab Congress on Sunday sought an independent and credible probe into the allegations of masterminding the desecration of holy Quran, against the Aam Aadmi Party MlA Naresh Yadav.
“Since the needle of suspicion now points towards the both, the Akali-BJP as well as the AAP, it is important that there is a credible probe to find out the actual truth,” said Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Capt Amarinder Singh.
“Given the sensitivity of the matter, we need to exercise utmost restraint and caution,” warned Capt Amarinder while adding that at the same time, no guilty should be allowed to go scot-free.
He said that it was a clear act of provocation done deliberately to hurt the sentiments of a particular community for vested interests.
PPCC president hoped that the AAP MlA Naresh Yadav, who was publicly named by one of the accused, will cooperate with the investigations.
“In order to reach to the root of the matter, it needs to be investigated by an independent agency whose credentials are above board,” he said, while adding, “Since the needle of suspicion points at both the SAD-BJP and the AAP, it is important that the probe conducted should be above board and acceptable to all.”
