Asked whether the report submitted by the panel headed by former judge of Chhattisgarh High Court Justice Prashant Mishra will be made public, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said, "Absolutely not, as the report is incomplete."
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Friday said his government will not make public the report of the judicial commission, headed by former judge of Chhattisgarh High Court Justice Prashant Mishra, on the May 2013 Jhiram valley Maoist attack, because it is "incomplete".
He was talking to reporters at the Swami Vivekanand Airport in Raipur after returning from Delhi late on Friday evening.
"The commission was constituted during the previous Raman Singh government (in 2013). Its term was extended for 20 times. In June this year, the panel's tenure was extended for the last time. In September, the commission's secretary had sought further extension, saying the probe was yet to be completed," Mr Baghel said.
"Meanwhile, Justice Prashant Mishra was transferred as Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court. In such a situation, I sought opinion of the law department," he said.
