Pathankot : CLP Leader Charanjit Channi today claimed that senior police officers were shielding prominent people in the Pathankot terror attack.
Police officers were deliberately going slow as the suspects were influential. The cops had concrete evidence of their involvement but were shying away fearing a political backlash from their political masters, he alleged. Channi was in the city to address the PPCC Jan Sampark rally.
He claimed that the US had given a document to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the terror attack proving Pakistan’s hand in the attack.
“Four militants were pushed into India by their handlers more than a day before the first shot was fired. They remained in Pathankot city for nearly 30 hours before entering the air force station. What was the police doing all this time? SP Salwinder Singh had informed his seniors on December 31 that he had been kidnapped by a group of four terrorists. Still the cops did nothing, he pointed out.
The SP’s car was found near the air force base a day before the ultras launched their attack. Still the police failed to trace the whereabouts of the militants despite the fact that the top brass of the police had arrived in the city. Why did the cops not take the SP’s claims seriously?” asked Channi.
On AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Channi said his claims of arresting Majithia if his party came to power were mere rhetoric. “Before the Delhi elections, Kejriwal had made a claim that he would arrest Shiela Dikshit within a month of coming to power. However, nothing happened,” he said.
