Teary eyed while cutting a cake in front of his slain son’s photoghraph, Balkaur Singh Sidhu said, “The committees that were set up to probe our son’s murder have not been able to anything to date. The National Investigation Agency’s report has been made public, but the Punjab government seems to be engaged in protecting Lawrence Bishnoi instead of ensuring justice. We will continue our fight for justice till the end of our life.”
He further said that he had requested for a meeting with Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann but had to return dejected after waiting for a whole day outside the latter’s office. “I am a heart patient but they kept me waiting outside the office the whole day. We found out that the CM had refused to meet us only after his chopper took off.”
