Randeep Singh Surjewala while addressing media at AICC headquarters said, “Yesterday (on Monday) on behalf of Congress we pointed out and asked government to answer some important questions, who is Davinder Singh? What is his connection to Hizbul and or J&K terrorist organisations? For how long he has been acting as a conduit for J&K as a terrorist, or maybe for or terror factories? Wasn’t Davinder Singh connected to 2001 parliamentary attacks and what was his connection?”

“What is Davinder Singh’s connection to Pulwama attack, where over 42 jawans lost ir lives? Davinder Singh was Deputy SP in region. Davinder Singh, admittedly was bringing two terrorists and one conduit in his car to Delhi, which police and government w say, was in lieu of Rs 12 lakh. I find this story preposterous and I find this explanation as hogwash. re is a larger conspiracy, at whose instance was Davinder Singh acting and bringing terrorists to Delhi?” he added.

Is he only a small pawn or a carrier in a larger conspiracy that is unleashed. se are all questions that Home Minister and Prime Minister need to answer. Davinder Singh cant be a standalone carrier, carrying terrorists to Delhi, maybe for a possible attack on January 26 function. So, what is this conspiracy - nation wants to kw.”
