Chandigarh: Launching fierce attack on the former chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has accused him of hushing up the inquiry into the January 2017 Maur bomb blast case.
Randhawa said that it was a huge failure on the part of the former CM while speaking on the side-lines of a function to mark Police Commemoration Day at Punjab Armed Police Headquarters in Jalandhar.
“Captain has been raising up the issue of national security in Punjab and making to bust many terror modules but he should first expound why the Maur blast inquiry was stalled and why the truth has not been disclosed to public behind it. It was a major failure of Captain as a CM, who was also the home minister of Punjab,” Randhawa said.
He alleged that the inquiry into the case was stopped rather than speeded up even he and many other party workers raised this matter before him on several occasions.
“We are set to re-launch the inquiry into the matter and truth will be prevailed to ensure justice,” he said.
The blast had occurred near to an election rally venue of Congress leader Harminder Singh Jassi and two inquires were conducted in the case those pointed to the involvement of the Dera Sacha Sauda. Jassi’s daughter is wedded to the dera chief’s son.
