Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said his government will ensure that all victims of terror in the state get justice.
"A number of them (terror victims) have already got justice. Whoever comes forward will get it as well," he told reporters on the sidelines of a Sangat Darshan programme in Dhariwal village in Nakodar Assembly segment here.
The Chief Minister was replying to a query regarding justice for around 25,000 terror victims in Punjab.
"Whenever a case has come to our notice or someone has contacted us, we have ensured justice for the victims. If there are cases that are yet to come to the government's notice, we will seek information about them and ensure justice," he said.
His comments come in the backdrop of AAP state convenor Sucha Singh Chhotepur's recent announcement in Jalandhar that if his party comes to power in Punjab, a probe committee will be formed to look into the cases of those who lost their lives in terror-related incidents.
Earlier, Badal told the gathering that his government has propelled Punjab to the number one spot in the electricity sector.
