CHANDIGARH: Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today said, the killing of two alleged shooters, who had allegedly shot dead Sidhu Moosewala, in a police encounter in Amritsar today was no consolation for the family and millions of his fans across the globe.
“This can neither bring Moosewala back nor can it wash off the stain on the Punjab government, whose criminal lapse and negligence by pruning his security led to his killing”, Warring said in a statement here today.
The PCC president maintained that there was nothing great about the encounter that led to killing of the two alleged shooters, as eventually the killers would have been nabbed like others have already been arrested.
“There are some serious questions which still remain unanswered about the grave lapse on part of the government as how Moosewala’s security was pruned despite such grave threat to his life”, he observed, while telling the Punjab government that these questions will continue to haunt it for a long time.
“Ideally the shooters should have been nabbed live to reach out to the bottom of the conspiracy behind Moosewala’s murder”, he said, adding, “so far nothing conclusive has come out and Punjab Police have not been able to reach to the bottom of the matter even after 52 days of his murder”.
In fact, he pointed out, this is the first direct action by the Punjab Police in the case so far and even in this case the police could not nab the accused alive. “Otherwise till now, Punjab Police have been dependent on whatever and whoever is being handed over to them by the Delhi Police, which seems to be more active in pursuing the matter”, he remarked.
