Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday sought a probe into the fake encounters and extra-judicial killings alleged to have taken place during militancy in Punjab.
Referring to the revelations made by former cop Pinky, wherein he had alleged that a number of people were killed without trial during militancy in Punjab, he demanded dismissal of DGP Sumedh Singh Saini and registration of a case against him.
Capt Amarinder addressed a press conference along with the former chief minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, the CLP leader Charanjit Singh Channi and senior vice-president Laal Singh at the Congress Bhawan after taking over as the PCC president, here on Thursday. He demanded a high level inquiry into the revelations made by Pinky. He also asked where Rs50 lakh, alleged to be paid by Pinky for his reinstatement, was.
“Let it be probed where the money went,” he said. Replying to a question about one of the party MP’s suggesting that nobody with the name Badal should be accommodated in an alliance or otherwise, the PCC president said “nobody has any business to comment on policy matters”. He said an alliance will be recommended by the PCC and the final decision will be taken by the Congress president and vice-president.
