The Congress leader demanded the investigation of riots to be done by the sitting judge of Supreme Court. Sharma has also presented photographs in which Kalkal was “posing with BJP leaders, including Haryana CM.” Besides that, Haryana finance minister Captan Abhimanyu, BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur, Haryana agriculture minister Om Prakash Dhankhar and Badra MLA Sukhvindra Shouran, former OSD to CM and Haryana housing board chairman Jawahar Yadav, Union minister Chaudhary Birendar Singh and Uchana MLA Prem Lata were in the photographs. “Khattar has claimed earlier that Kalkal is an active member of Congress and the main conspirator of Rohtak riot. If Kalkal is a Congress member than how he was in the photographs along with top BJP leaders,” Sharma asked.
