I have no regret, says Jagtar Singh Tara who assassinated former CM Beant Singh
A day after a court convicted Jagtar Singh Tara of assassinating the former chief minister of Punjab, Beant Singh, the pro-Khalistan terrorist said that he doesn't regret his action and will continue his battle for the freedom of Sikhs.
"If by killing a cruel person I can save thousands of innocent people then it is not wrong," Tara said through his counsel, Simranjit Singh amidst chants of pro-Khalistan slogans by the supporters. Yesterday, a court in Chandigarh had pronounced Tara guilty of the assassination of former chief minister of Punjab Beant Singh in 1995. Tara had admitted to his involvement in the assassination of former chief minister in a confession letter which he had submitted to the court in January this year. On August 31, 1995, then chief minister Beant Singh was killed in an explosion outside the Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh. Punjab police employee Dilawar Singh had acted as a human bomb in the incident. -PTC News#WATCH: Lawyer of Jagtar Singh Tara, convicted for killing former Punjab CM Beant Singh, briefs the media, says, 'Tara told court that he will continue fighting for Sikhs' freedom.'
