AAP leader, who is also a senior lawyer, also maintained that accused Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh for shielding Kamal Nath.

“I challenge Badal that if he not not shielding Badal, then if the SIT has opened 75 cases, why is the case of Kamal Nath not opened? It should be opened immediately because the attack on Gurudwara Rakabganj Sahib is not a minor issue. This case should be reopened and within two months investigation should be completed and chargesheet should be issued against Kamal Nath,” he added.
