Chandigarh, Nov 8 (PTI) Special prayers were held at a Gurudwara in Patiala for speedy delivery of justice to victims of 1984 anti-Sikhs riots.
After prayers at Gurudwara Sri Dukhniwaran Sahib, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal said, "It was a matter of shame for world's biggest democracy that even after 25 years, the families of victims were not granted justice".
Later, he told reporters that Congress had not expressed regret for "inciting mob" to kill thousands of innocent Sikhs and accused CBI of scuttling the legal procedure. The agency was acting at the instance of its "political masters", he alleged.
He appealed to the Centre to re-open each case and investigate "honestly" to ensure justice to victims and survivors of the riots.
