Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party leader Bhai Baldeep Singh has raised question over the effectiveness of newly formed Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Central government of India.

Commenting on formation of SIT Bhai Baldeep Singh said it was “too little and too late”.

He further said that the “police and judicial agencies were all responsible for their negligence, lack of values such as transparency, honesty, conviction, patriotism, fairness and did nothing to protect the people or probe the massacre and catch the guilty in time. All state agencies failed and that too, failed miserably”.

“Now the central government is ordering a probe but what if the political party which got a thumping majority in the last Lok Sabha elections held in April 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party and several of its leaders and cadre were also to be found guilty as is alleged? Wouldn’t they try to cover up whatever still remains of their tracks?”, he questioned.

On the role of judiciary Bhai Baldeep Singh said “the Supreme Court failed. Politicians betrayed their people. Police and civil administrations respectively played as mere pawns and pliable dolls of goons-turned-politicians and politicians- turned- perpetrators of crimes against humanity”.

He said that the Delhi Government should perhaps go ahead with its own SIT or perhaps, this case should be handed over to the International Court.
