AAP filed an FIR against V.K.Singh

New Delhi: On Friday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) filed a police complaint against central minister V.K. Singh for his controversial remarks over the death of two Dalit children in Haryana. However, Delhi Police did not register an FIR against the former army chief.

An Aam Aadmi Party delegation recommended Karol Bagh Assistant Commissioner of Police S. Saravanan to register a First Information Report against the minister of state for external affairs under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.

AAP leader Ashutosh told the media, “We requested him to register a case, to which he said it needed the DCP’s permission”.

He said, “The officer said he will first conduct an inquiry and then seek the DCP’s permission to register a case against Singh” adding that “police accepted our complaint against Singh”.

A Delhi police official told that a complaint had been received against Singh.

On Thursday, Singh activated a huge row when he used an analogy of stoning a dog while commenting on the burning of two Dalit children in a Haryana village by upper caste villagers.

the BJP MP apologized, saying he was sorry if he had hurt anyone’s sentiments, as the opposition demanded Singh’s sacking from the Narendra Modi ministry, .

Ashutosh said the former army chief’s apology was politically motivated.

“He did not apologize from his heart. Rather it was politically motivated. He apologized after (former Bihar chief minister) Jitan Ram Manjhi sought his apology.

Ashutosh said, “He apologised seeing the importance of the Bihar elections for his party”.

The AAP leader said Singh crossed “all limits of decency” when he made the remarks over the Dalit children’s killings.

He added, “He has no business to be in the cabinet. He should be arrested. We requested police, which falls under the central government, that Singh’s status should not determine the fate of this case”.
