Publish Date : 1/17/2005 9:26:00 AM Source : Onlypunjab.com Team The Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) headed by Mr Simranjit Singh Mann, in a memorandum submitted to the Union Home Minister, Mr Shivraj Patil, has expressed its opposition to the Punjab Chief Minister’s move to consider the ADGP, Mr S.S Virk, as the new state police chief, and has levelled various charges against him. A party delegation comprising of general secretaries Mr Charan Singh Lohara, Prof Jagmohan Singh, Bhai Ram Singh, Dr Harjinder Singh Jakhu, Parliamentary Secretary Prof Gursharan Singh and Mr Rabinder Pal Singh Ghuman led by its president, Mr Simranjit Singh Mann submitted the memorandum on Saturday. The minister reportedly gave them a patient hearing and assured them to look into “The appointment of Mr Virk, who has been involved in various human rights violations, as the state police chief by superseding eight other officials will lead to discontentment and indiscipline and affect the morale of the force, the memorandum states. Speculations have been rife over Mr Virk’s appointment during the past few days. Even though the Chief Minister has been reiterating that no decision has been taken on the appointment of new police chief yet but the name of Mr Virk has been doing the rounds. A 1970 batch officer of the Maharashtra cadre, Mr Virk has been working in Punjab on deputation since 1985. His repatriation to his parent state has already become a talking point and he stands chargesheeted for the same by the Union Home Ministry. Talking to mediapersons here yesterday, the general secretary of the party, Prof Jagmohan Singh, said to stall the government’s move they would also be filing a public interest litigation (PIL) in the court. The party wants that the ADGP should be sent back to Maharashtra as his deputation period had ended on April 1, 1998. However, he was still continuing “unauthorisedly” in Punjab. The Union Government had terminated Mr Virk’s deputation on April 12, 2004, and he was directed to report back to Maharashtra latest by April 30. It is alleged in the memorandum that Mr Virk was responsible for killings of the youth during the militancy period along with certain other officers. Other allegations levelled in the memorandum include his connivance with smuggler Paramjit Singh Pamma for conspiring the killings of innocents during the phase of terrorism and the “extrajudicial murder” of militant leader Dharam Singh Kashtiwal. |
