Haryana CM ML Khattar on Wednesday met BJP President Amit Shah in Delhi.
Amid criticism over violence after the conviction of Dera Sacha Sauda Chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday gave a clean chit to himself.
After meeting BJP President Amit Shah in the national capital, Khattar refuted all the charges.
Responding to demands of his resignation as Chief Minister of Haryana, Khattar said, "Let them demand the resignation, we have done our job nicely."
Political parties have been demanding Khattar's resignation after the large scale violence perpetrated by Dera supporters.
It's being alleged that Khattar allowed Dera supporters to camp in sensitive areas because Dera chief had extended support to the party during the assembly election in the state.
Punjab and Haryana High Court had on August 26 severely criticised Manohar Lal Khattar-led BJP government, calling its inaction 'a political surrender to allure vote bank'.
More than 36 people died and over 250 got injured in the violence after conviction of Gurmeet Ram Rahim in a rape case.
Khattar government is being slammed for letting things go out of control by allowing Dera supports to enter and stay in Panchkula, Sirsa, and Chandigarh.
The bench, comprising acting Chief Justice S S Saron and Justices Surya Kant and Avneesh Jhingan on August 29, directed that no FIR registered by the two states during the episode shall be cancelled without the permission of the High Court.
It also ordered the Haryana government to file detailed status report regarding steps taken to sanitise Dera Sacha Sauda centres including its headquarters at Sirsa.
The bench slammed the Haryana government for going soft on Dera supporters. "You cant go soft when some people come armed with petrol bombs and deadly weapons to indulge in arson and lawlessness," the court said. "This was a war-like situation and it had to be fought like a war-like situation," Justice Saron observed verbally.
