Stating that the higher authorities failed to stop bigwigs like Vijay Mallya and others when they robbed the country for billions of rupees, the Chief Minister urged the Centre to immediately direct the Delhi Police to withdraw the lookout notices. Besides this, Amarinder Singh also questioned Deli Police's decision to name farmer leaders in the FIRs of the Republic Dau violence without having any evidence against them.
The Punjab Chief Minister said, "Not a single one of them had reportedly been found so far to have made any inflammatory speeches or seen indulging in any provocative acts, he said. If the police have any evidence of the involvement of any of these leaders, they should make it public."
In order to ensure that stern action can be taken against the real culprit, the Minister urged the Centre to conduct a free and fair investigation into the incidents that took place in the national capital on January 26. This statement from him comes after the Delhi Police on Thursday issued a lookout notice (LOC) against some farmer leaders with the help of immigration. As a part of the process, the passport of these leaders will be seized, said the Delhi Police.
