| Police directed to go slow on Gandhi commission queries? | | | early times report
Jammu, Dec 23: The state government has directed police to go slow on the queries sent to it by the RC Gandhi judicial commission on Kishtwar violence. The police has till now not replied to the queries of the Commission.
"Police has been directed to take as much time as possible in providing information to the Commission. Intelligence department has in particular been directed on this account," said a senior government official, wishing not to be named. The police portfolio is headed by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
The latest directions have been issued after Sajjad Kitchloo has been re-inducted as MoS Home. He would now again been privy to the information of the police.
The directions have come as there is going clamour for the Commission to make its finding in the public.
Sources said that even though on the findings of the interim report, Kitchloo had been given clean chit, but things change with full reports as reports of the police and the information of the intelligence agencies would be incorporated in it after examining them.
"Kitchloo was heading the police then. And if there is finding that police didn't act in the manner in which it should, then the blame would again be on Kitchloo and there would again be demand for his removal.
This is something the government didn't want to face," said the official.
Sources said the directions have also been issued with a view that Commission which is under pressure in Jammu for its interim may direct the police to give its response at the earliest so that final report is compiled and made public. It will bring the things in clarity and it would save it from more criticism.
"The government has not made any commission report public and this is also the reason why it doesn't want the same to happen with Kishtwar report. It will help the government to save its skin," said the official. |
