[New Delhi]Arrest Tytler, Harsimrat Badal tells Rajnath
Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal today met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and demanded the “immediate arrest” of Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in connection with his “involvement” in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
The Shiromani Akali Dal leader met Singh with her party collegue Naresh Gujral and submitted a memorandum and a video of a purported sting operation showing Tytler apparently admitting his role in the riots.
Tytler has said the video is doctored.
The food processing minister requested Home minister to direct investigating agencies to immediately arrest Tytler and conduct a lie-detector test on him.He Husband and Punjab’s Ex Dy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal has also been asking arrest of Tytler
Badal also claimed that, according to the sting operation, the Congress leader had admitted his culpability in illegal transactions running into billions of rupees in the appointment of Delhi High Court judges among others.
The sting operation was released by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) president Manjit Singh GK earlier this week.
He had said it was received by him from an unknown man on February 3.
Tytler has filed a police complaint against the DSGMC president, accusing him of circulating a “doctored” video clip.
Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh has avoided this question whereas his minister Navjot Singh Sidhu has already asked for strict action against culprits
