Delhi Police mishandled post OROP suicide, says BJP MP
November 03, 2016
Former Mumbai Police Commissioner turned-BJP MP Satyapal Singh on
Thursday said Delhi Police had mishandled the protest which took place
after the suicide by ex-serviceman Ram Kishan Grewal over delay in the
implementation of the One Rank, One Pension (OROP).
"I think Delhi Police should have handled the situation better, as they completely mishandled it," he said.
"Opposition
parties have nothing to do with the victim or with the army. Same
people were questioning the army over the surgical strike and they just
want to score their political browny points," he added.
"There is
no harm in letting anyone meets the family of the ex-serviceman but
Delhi Police should have managed it in a better way," the BJP MP from
Baghpat said.
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and Delhi
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal were on Wednesday detained by police in
Delhi for several hours -- Gandhi twice -- in an apparent bid to prevent
them from meeting the bereaved family.
Several leaders of
Congress and AAP including Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia were
also held by the police even as Rahul and Kejriwal tore into Prime
Minister Narendra Modi
