Batla probe: Cong MLA heckles Kejriwal
1 Feb 2014 5:16 AM IST
The Aam Aadmi Party said it never promised an investigation into the matter.
A furious Khan also asked the Congress to take back its critical legislative support to the month-old AAP minority government for what he said was a ‘betrayal’ of a promise made by Kejriwal to Muslims in his area.
Kejriwal said at the press conference there would be no probe into the incident as the court has given its verdict and the case has been closed.
AAP leader Sanjay Singh also said there was no mention of the Batla House incident in the party’s manifesto for election to the Delhi state assembly.
The drama began when Khan, Congress MLA from Okhla, entered the first-floor room of the Delhi Secretariat where the chief minister and his cabinet colleague Manish Sisodia were briefing the media. Khan started shouting slogans after Kejriwal denied a probe by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into the 2008 Batla House shooting.
Khan said Kejriwal had earlier promised a SIT probe, similar to the one the chief minister now wants into the 1984 killings of Sikhs, but was refusing to do so.
Demanding a probe, Khan called Kejriwal the director of ‘Radio Jhootistaan’ and thundered that he would no longer support the government even if the Congress expelled him.
