Aam Aadmi Party never promised probe into Batla House encounter

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today clarified that it never promised a probe into the Batla House encounter in its manifesto, as claimed by Congress MLA Asif Mohammad Khan.  In a press release,



The AAP press release said, "Asif needs to answer the question as to why he joined the Congress Party in August 2013 after having won the 2008 assembly election on the RJD ticket, despite the fact that Congress governments of Delhi and even the centre had termed the encounter as genuine in the High Court and the Supreme Court.

"It is really beyond reasonable understanding that he chose to contest on the ticket of a party which supported the encounter and opposed any attempt to get it probed and is seeking answers from a government which believes in justice for all and discrimination against none.

"Before questioniong others, Asif should spell out the stand of the party to which he belongs, on this issue."
 
The press release said, AAP makes it clear that it stands committed for justice to all sections of the society and is firmly against implication of innocents in false cases, irrespective of their religion, region or caste.
