WP chief Pritam Singh 'didn’t feel a wrong had been done' to police by Raeesah Khan’s false allegations: Privileges committee

Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh did not feel that the police would be adversely affected by Ms Raeesah Khan's false statement.

He also confirmed during his testimony to Parliament's Committee of Privileges that he did not advise Ms Raeesah to respond to the police’s request for her assistance on the anecdote that she gave during her speech in Parliament on Aug 3. 

Nevertheless, Mr Singh agreed that the police request was reasonable, according to the committee’s third report on the hearings into Ms Raeesah's lies in Parliament which was released on Sunday (Dec 12).

The report also states that Mr Singh questioned the amount of work put in by the police to check on the allegation raised by Ms Raeesah.

Further, he told the committee that he did not feel that a wrong had been done to the police by Ms Raeesah’s “untruthful allegations” against them.
