(Chd,Pb)Taksalis Also Demand CBI Probe in Biggest Hooch Tragedy in Punjab
Shiromani Akali Dal (Taksali) on Friday demanded a CBI probe into the hooch tragedy in Punjab which has so far claimed 121 lives.
In a memorandum submitted to Punjab Governor V P Singh Badnore, SAD-Taksali president and former MP Ranjit Singh Brahmpura said stringent action should be taken against the culprits behind the incident.
At least 80 deaths have been reported in Khadoor Sahib constituency of Tarn Taran. A CBI probe is needed so that justice is done to the families of the victims
The party demanded that instead of Rs 5 lakh compensation announced by the Amarinder Singh government to the next of kin, Rs10 lakh and a government job to one of the family members should be given.
Brahmpura’s party also raised the issue of alleged indiscriminate use of anti-terror law Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act by the state police, claiming there were increasing cases of Sikh youth being arrested and jailed under the act without any serious charges.
