Chandigarh:- Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today demanded a probe by a committee led by Supreme Court judge in the terror attack in Pathanakot Air Force base.
“AAP demands a probe by a committee lead by Supreme Court judge,” party’s Punjab in-charge Sanjay Singh said here.
He said that the issue is related to the security of the nation so it should be taken seriously.
Accompanied by state Convener Suchha Singh Chottepur and AAP legal cell head Himmat Singh Shergil, he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had no right to disgrace the Armed forces.
Stressing that that the security of the nation is a serious issue, he said Modi should not tackle it in a “childish manner” and added that he should stop giving vague statements, instead start working on the issues of public concern.
Singh said that AAP is not against talks with Pakistan but it should be specific and issue based and the ‘Shawl-Saari’ diplomacy is unacceptable.
He said that the foreign policy of the Modi government is vague and directionless which has led to sour relations with Nepal and other neighboring countries.
He said that after Dinanagar attack, in last 7 months it is the second attack but nothing has come out of the probe of Dinanagar case and addded that the central and state agencies have failed in their purposes.
Attacking the Parkash Singh Badal government, Singh alleged that the “nexus” of Akali leaders, drug peddlers and militants resulted in militant attack in Pathankot.
He said that the role of Superintendet of Police (SP) Salwinder Singh is doubtful in the case and claimed that it is assumed that “he might have helped militants to reach the attack spot”.
“It is clearly visible from the contradictory statements of the SP Salwinder Singh and his presence at the odd hours that too in an area where he is not posted and without any of his staff and security guard raises serious questions,” he said.
Moreover, such postings are directly overseen by political masters and the Home Minister of the state in particular, he said.
“A close relative of the Home minister and an influential minister in the government Bikram Majithia remained in the news. All the developments raise severe questions about the possibility of narco-politician-terrorists nexus,” he alleged.
Singh claimed that the SP also met a political leader night before the attack.
Singh said that it is doubtful why the terrorist spared SP and killed just the taxi driver.
