He alleged that the Union minister had lied whereas stating that the Centre didn’t have any checklist of ‘Bandi Singhs’ besides 9 which had been referred to by him. “Shekhawat ought to know {that a} checklist of twenty-two detainees was submitted to the Prime Minister in addition to the House Minister. It is usually a incontrovertible fact that SAD and the SGPC have been pursuing the case for his or her launch.
