SAD To Move Resolution Demanding Arrest Of Tytler, Action Against Gandhi Family Over 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots
Jagdish Tytler is being appointed as one of the permanent invitees to the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee
Mumbai: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal in Ludhiana said that his party will move a resolution in the upcoming Punjab assembly session on November 8, demanding the arrest of Jagdish Tytler, who is being appointed as one of the permanent invitees to the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee.
Addressing a press conference in Ludhiana, Badal said that along with jadish Tytler, actions will be taken against all other congressmen responsible for the 1984 Sikh Massacre against Gandhi family at whose instance it was conducted.
He also accused that Congress is supporting the butchers, instead of punishing them. Tytler is one of the accused in those riots and he who should immediately be punished, he added.
Urging Sikhs to boycott Congress, Badal expressed confidence that SAD’s resolution in the State Assembly session would be passed unanimously.
“I am here to pay tribute to all those who were killed in the riots. But if we want to pay them tribute genuinely, then we should boycott the party,” he said.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had also attacked the Congress for naming Tytler, a 1984 anti-Sikh riots-accused, as a permanent invitee to the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC).
BJP National Convener Amit Malviya in a tweet alleged that Sikh lives don’t matter to the grand old party.
“Sonia Gandhi has appointed Jagdish Tytler, who is an accused in the Congress sponsored 1984 Sikh genocide, as one of the 37 permanent invitees to the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee. Sikh lives don’t matter for the Congress party? Is Punjab listening?” Malviya tweeted.
Meanwhile, Tytler has justified himself saying that he has been given a clean shit from the CBI in the case related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
The 1984 anti-Sikh riots were a series of organised pogroms against Sikhs after Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards – Satwant Singh and Kehar Singh, a dark chapter in the history of independent India.
As per the government estimates, 2,800 Sikhs were killed in Delhi while 3,350 were murdered across the country.
