New Delhi: Bhupinder Singh Hooda, a senior Congress leader and the former chief minister of Haryana, called for a high court judge to investigate the government's "failure" to prevent the violence that began in Nuh and cost the lives of six people on Thursday.
At a press conference held at the AICC headquarters, Hooda called the BJP-led Haryana government a "complete failure" and demanded that "whoever instigated the violence and riots in Nuh should be punished." No one in authority should be looking out for them. He told reporters, "We demand a judicial inquiry headed by a high court judge into why the government failed to prevent the riots in Nuh and that will help bring out the truth into the incident."
Hooda said the investigation should look into why the government didn't take preventative measures in time to avert a communal confrontation and what led to the violent riots. The Congress leader urged for an investigation to determine who was behind the violence and what motivated them to act violently.—Inputes from Agencies
