Chandigarh : Former Punjab Chief Minister and permanent invitee to the Congress Working Committee Capt Amarinder Singh today demanded a high level probe into the allegations against former Chief of Army Staff General (retd) VK Singh.
In a press release, the former Chief Minister also asked the Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to clarify his stand on the issue as there have been other allegations against Gen VK Singh that he tried to scuttle the appointment of the current Chief of Army Staff General Bikram Singh just because he belonged to a particular community.
Capt Amarinder said the nature of allegations against the former Army chief was quite serious, including the one that he tried to destabilise an elected government in Jammu and Kashmir.
He had a dig at the self-proclaimed supporters of Gen Singh that he was being made a victim out of political vendetta. “Nobody can be immune to the law of land”, he asserted ,wadding that just because someone was trying to make an excuse that he was being made a victim of political vendetta, he could not escape an inquiry.
