Chandigarh, July 27: “All those responsible for carnage against the Sikhs in 1984 would be brought to book howsoever high position they might be holding in public life,” said BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Thursday.
Welcoming the Delhi court summons to veteran Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in the case of killing of three persons and causing arson in a gurudwara, Chugh said justice would surely be done to the victim families by the Modi government which had launched reinvestigation into the cases of violence against the Sikhs.
“So far, the Gandhi family led by Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi had been making extra efforts to protect the Congress leaders involved in anti-Sikh riots, and now AAP has also joined hands with the Congress to shield the accused Congress leaders,” he said, adding, “The anti-Sikh riots was the darkest chapter in the Indian democracy for which the Congress can never be absolved.”
A Delhi court on Wednesday took cognisance of a supplementary charge sheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with the setting afire of Gurdwara Pul Bangash in north Delhi in November 1984 — an incident in which three people died — and issued summons to Congress leader and former Union minister Jagdish Tytler.
