Amritsar, Oct 22 (UNI) Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) President Sunil Jakhar has termed as most unfortunate the politics being played on the Amritsar train tragedy in which 58 people were killed and the same number were injured and said that the clean chit given by the railways with regard to the shocking tragedy raises numerous questions.
Addressing the press conference at the residence of Local Government Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu here today, Mr Jakhar said that the manner in which the Union Minister of State for Railways and the Chairman Railways visited the site of the tragedy and washed their hands off, gives rise to many questions.
He further said that the disclosure made today by the driver of the train in which he has talked of applying the brakes and stone pelting on slowing down the speed, does not hold any ground as it is not captured in any of the video clips.
