Hek for independent probe into Bernard case

Shillong, Aug 8: BJP leader AL Hek said the demand for an independent probe into Bernard case is justified as he condemned harassment of party workers by the Tura police.

Hek said he does not believe that there was any political vendetta in arresting Bernard.

“Of course we will definitely demand for an independent inquiry. But one thing we do not like is the harassment of our party workers in Tura police station, which is inhumane which is unacceptable even by common citizens also. Why do we have to harass innocent people, why do you have to call them at 1 o’clock and when coming to the police station and you tell them to come tomorrow that kind of harassment is not acceptable. I condemn this harassment against our party workers,” he told reporters on Monday.

When asked whether the issue will affect the BJP-NPP relationship, Hek said  the two parties are working together.

“We are together in the MDA. However, when we go to the field before the election, we will have our own manifesto, we will have our own agenda and we will fight each other. That is simple logic and there is nothing to hide here,” he said.
