"Do we have two laws in the county?" Harsimrat Badal to Amit Shah on former BJP MLA being pardoned from life sentence
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, July 26, 2024: Questioning the move of the government on pardoning former BJP MLA Udaybhan Karwariya who was serving a life sentence in MLA Jawahar Yadav’s 1996 murder case, Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal raised questions on social media.
"Will the home minister @AmitShahof the country answer that on what compassionate grounds BJP leader Udaibhan Karvaria, accused of three murders including :- MLA Jawahar Yadav, has been released despite his life imprisonment? Do we have two laws in our country, one for the likes of BJP and the other for the minorities especially the Sikh community? Earlier the punishment of the killers of Bilquis Bano was pardoned and now the former BJP MLA has been released. Our Bandi Singhs who have completed their sentences have been illegally locked up in jails for many years, why is their release being blocked by the central government? Is this not an attack on the minority Sikh community? Such a discriminatory policy of the central government makes the minority Sikh community, who made great sacrifices in the freedom struggle and staunchly defended their country during the war with the enemy countries after independence, feel alienated. I demand that our captive Singhs who have completed their sentences keeping human rights as the priority should be released immediately so that the faith of the Sikh community towards the government of the country can be restored," wrote Harsimrat Kaur Badal on social media.
