Congress trying to shield its minister, alleges AAP

CHANDIGARH: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday alleged that the belated inquiry ordered by Capt Amarinder into the mining scandal appears to be a tailor made exercise to absolve the accused minister Rana Gurjeet Singh.
We are of the firm opinion that if Rana Gurjeet Singh continues to be a member of cabinet, the said inquiry can never be free, fair and impartial, alleged AAP.
AAP leader Sukhpal Khaira demanded that the minister must resign forthwith or should be dismissed from the cabinet pending inquiry or else the entire exercise would appear to be farce. He also urged justice J S Narang, Rana Gurjeet Singh, Capt J S Randhawa and the other accused to clarify if they have ever remained in a lawyer-client relationship because if Rana Gurjeet Singh has remained a client of Justice J S Narang in his capacity as a counsel, it would raise many doubts of this inquiry being fair and impartial.
"All of them are urged to come under oath to clarify their roles as lawyer-client relationship if ever. AAP also reminded the Congress of its double standards as they had rejected the Justice Jindal Commission to probe the role of the then education minister Maluka on the grounds that he has not resigned from the cabinet. Congress had also staged a 'dharna' to pressurize the then Badal government," he added.
