New Delhi – Sangrur MP, Bhagwant Mann, who represents the Aam Aadmi Party in Lok Sabha, had given the notice on recent revelations by Gurmeet Pinky, a former Punjab police constable who specialised in encounter killings and confessed to having himself witnessed 50 such encounters.
Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan however disallowed the adjournment motion Bhagwant Mann had given to discuss the issue of fake encounters in Punjab to crush the Sikh militancy at the height of the Khalistan movement in the state.
Mann will now raise the issue in Zero Hour tomorrow. PPCC Chief Amarinder Singh has already demanded an investigation into the matter.
It is to be noticed that a number of human rights organisations have urged the Supreme Court and the Punjab and Haryana High Court to take suo mottu notice of the revelations made by Pinki. Sikhs for Human Rights, Lawyers for Human Rights and Punjab Human rights Organisation stated this in a press conference.
