JAMMU, June 20: Rejecting out rightly the report of BJP’s Fact Finding Committee regarding Leh bribery case of journalists, Congress has termed it as an attempt by the BJP to influence the Police investigation and derail the outcome of the entire episode.
Reacting sharply to reports of the BJP appointed in- house penal to look into the Leh bribery case high lightened by journalists, JKPCC Legal Cell has said that established principle of law is that “no one can be the judge of his own cause “.
JKPCC legal cell advocate K K Pangotra and Convener Legal Cell and general secretary PCC, Shah Mohd Choudhary Adocate have questioned that how can a private penal appointed by the political party whose own leaders are accused of being involved into the matter and being investigated by the Government agency, can comment over the merit of the case. “This is the clear attempt to influence the investigation and derail the course of law, which is an attempt to influence public opinion also,” they said and questioned as to where was the occasion or provision to appoint such a penal and make its report public.
“ Let the party defend its leader named in the episode, as nothing of the sort of any action on moral grounds is expected from BJP but least it can do in the matter is to allow the law to take its own course uninfluenced and uninterrupted, if the BJP has any respect to the rule of law,” they added.
