New Special Probe Team Closer To Justice In Sacrilege Case: Navjot Sidhu

Navjot Sidhu also slammed Sukhbir Singh Badal for his tweet in which the former deputy chief minister accused Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh of implicating the SAD leadership in false cases.

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, who had been targeting the Amarinder Singh government over alleged delay in justice in the 2015 sacrilege and subsequent police firing incidents, on Saturday said the new Punjab police SIT was inching closer to justice. The cricketer-turned-politician also slammed SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal for his Friday's tweet in which the former deputy chief minister accused Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh of implicating the SAD leadership in false cases at the alleged instance of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Mr Sidhu in a tweet on Saturday said, "6 Yrs since sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. No Justice in 2 yrs of your rule. No Justice in the following 4.5 yrs.. Today, New SIT inches closer to Justice for Punjab's Soul & you cry of political interference. Political interference was that which delayed Justice by 6 yrs." The Amritsar East legislator also tagged Mr Sukhbir's tweet.
