SAD rejects judicial inquiry into Dussehra train tragedy

Amritsar, July 4 (UNI)The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Saurdsay termed the indictment of five municipal corporation employees in the Amritsar Dussehra train tragedy as a travesty of justice and asserted that Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi had a direct role in securing a clean chit for the Sidhu couple including former Local Bodies minister Navjot Sidhu and his wife Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu.
Addressing a press conference here former chief parliamentary secretary Virsa Singh Valtoha said the judicial probe by a retired district judge had wrongfully framed junior officers of the municipal corporation. He said the employees could not have refused any directive from the Local Bodies minister who was also the sitting legislator from Amritsar East constituency where the controversial Dussehra programme was held in contravention of all rules and regulations.
Mr Valtoha, who was accompanied by Harmeet Singh Dhillon, Talbir Singh Gill and Gurpartap Tikka, said the five employees should not be victimized. They said the real culprits in the case – the Sidhu couple and Congress councilor Mithu Madaan should be proceeded against for causing the death of 61 persons who were mowed down by a speeding train when effigies were being burnt near the railway track at Joda Phatak as part of the Dussehra celebrations.
