Bhopal: Congress party MP Jyotiraditya Scindia said that BJP has framed the Congress MLA Hemant Katare.
“It is a political conspiracy against the MLA. Congress party will stand by him,” Scindia said while talking mediapersons here on Friday. He further said that BJP-led government wants to save certain politicians and allies by framing MLA. “What made police to register case against MLA eight days after letter was written by the girl from the jail? The case was registered without any investigation into the matter,” he remarked.
The leader of opposition Ajay Singh said that Congressmen have submitted a memorandum to chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and have demanded to institute a high level inquiry into the matter. “But the government had established SIT led by an SP rank officer,” Singh said.
Speaking further, Ajay Singh insisted that the police should conduct free and fair inquiry into the matter and police should take action if MLA is found guilty. “But do not frame him in fake cases,” he said. State Congress president Arun Yadav said that the issue is politically motivated. “Hemant Katare is a Congress MLA and that is why BJP-led state government has framed him in a fake case,” he said.
