Book Amarinder for sedition: Mann's lawyer
CHANDIGARH: Lakhanpal alleged that Mann was tortured during interrogation and injured his spine.
"There can't be different laws for different people," Lakhanpal said, adding that Amarinder should step down.
Releasing copies of photographs of Amarinder Singh addressing the gathering in the backdrop of 'Khalistan Zindabad' as published in 'Sanjh Savera', aweekly in Canada, Lakhanpal said this evidence was enough to book Amarinder and legally proceed against him. "If four cases can be registered against Mann on some flimsy grounds, why can't Amarinder be booked for the same offence?" argued Lakhanpal.
Drawing yet another parallel, Lakhanpal said that Mann had been implicated for demanding Khalistan while Hurriyat leaders, who have been demanding separation and also supported militants and terrorism, were permitted to go to Pakistan without passport. Also, Hurriyat leaders openly praised a Pakistan minister for holding terrorist camps in Pakistan and thanked him for, he said.
"Mann has always condemned terrorism and militancy and was even elected twice to Parliament and had taken an oath of allegiance to the Constitution, yet he is behind bars while Hurriyat leaders are free birds," said Lakhanpal.
Lakhanpal reiterated that Mann had been interrogated in judicial custody and now even Punjab police chief SS Virk had admitted that he sent a questionnaire to Mann while he was in judicial lock up. "This is patently against the law of the land," he said, adding that the police had transgressed its limits.
Lakhanpal alleged that Mann was tortured during interrogation and injured his spine. "DGP Virk has a personal grudge against Mann as he had opposed his appointment as police chief and filed a petition in the court," he said.
Lakhanpal pointed out that Amarinder, PS Badal and Mann were signatories to the memorandum submitted to the then UN secretary general Boutros-Boutros Ghali but no case of sedition was registered against them.
