DW BUREAU / HISAR the aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab has questioned the ongoing snail-paced probe into the desecration of Guru Granth Sahib and the Behbal Kalan-Kotkapura shooting incidents, alleging Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, who held Home Minister portfolio, had been indulging in influencing the investigating agencies to offer protective cover to the high profile accused, including the Badals. In a joint statement issued from party headquarters in Chandigarh on Wednesday, senior leader of the party and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema, chief spokesperson Prof. Baljinder Kaur, Kultar Singh Sandhwan and Jai Krishan Singh Rouri (All MLAs), reacting to the arrest of advocate Suhel Singh Brar by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), said that as long as the actual culprits in the desecration and firing incidents were not nabbed and punished, the Nanak Leva 'Sangat' across the world would not get the ends of justice. Harpal Singh Cheema on the occasion said: "We have no doubt about the professional approach and ability of Kunwar Vijay Partap Singh, but when the entire juggernaut was bent on defending the accused by destroying the material evidence at the behest of the Chief Minister, what could be expected of an upright officer like Kunwar Vijay Partap Singh? " Prof Baljinder Kaur alleged that in the heinous crimes committed on a large scale by high profile culprits, the arrest of a small fry like Suhail Singh Brar was a mere eyewash to protect the actual culprits behind the horrific crimes. She said whenever the needle of suspicion had moved towards the high and powerful people, like the Badals or Sumedh Singh Saini, those at the helms of affairs come to the rescue of the high profile culprits, adding that Bittu's murder in Nabha Jail and the mysterious death Surjit Singh, a key witness in the case were abortive attempts by the government to destroy clinching evidences.
