CHANDIGARH, APRIL 15: Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee Chief (PPCC) Sunil Jakhar on Thursday said that Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh-led state government will take probe into Kotkapura and Behbal Kallan firing incidents and sacrilege cases of holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to a logical conclusion.

In a statement issued here, Jakhar said that Captain Amarinder Singh’s resolve to ensure punishment for those who committed this heinous act is unflinching. Targetting SAD and BJP for trying to scuttle the probe by manipulating central agencies, he said that when SAD was an ally of BJP then both tried their to suppress the probe through CBI but it was Punjab Government which had through legal channels ensured transfer of case files from CBI to Punjab to complete the investigations at the earliest.

Jakhar further said that even now on the High Court verdict, Captain Amarinder has already made clear that state government would challenge the decision in the Supreme Court to ensure all those guilty of this heinous act of sacriledge would be put behind bars.

State Congress President also said that he would meet the Chief Minister to request him to investigate and fix responsibility of anyone found responsible for creating obstacle in the probe as this sensitive case is concerned with religious sentiments of lakhs of people.

Jakhar while referring to assertions that SIT probe had been completed, said that in that case if there is no legal hurdle in filing further appeal then the report should be made public. He said that people of the state have a right to know at whose behest these heart wrenching incidents were committed.
