Punjab Pradesh Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh, accusing Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal of playing politics on the issue of clemency for militant Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar, said today that if the Badal Government was sincere on the issue, it could have taken the initiative to get him transferred to a Punjab jail.
He said it was intriguing that Badal had refused to answer a query on the issue in Bathinda today. The PCC president said the CM was being deliberately vague and ambiguous by saying different things on different occasions. He said the state government had three years back said under oath that Bhullar was a hardcore criminal and a dreaded terrorist. “If Badal has really undergone a change of heart, let him withdraw the affidavit and help Bhullar to spend his incarceration in a Punjab jail”, he added.
