JALANDHAR: Former Union home minister and senior Congress leader Buta Singh has alleged that then chief minister Bhajan Lal was responsible for not only the alleged massacre of around 60 Sikhs in Hond-Chhilar village of Rewari district in November '84 but also for the cover-up, as the incident remained unreported till a couple of days ago. In fact, he also accused Bhajan Lal for adding, "Bitterness between the then Congress ruled Union government and the Sikhs, as the latter were humiliated by the Haryana police on National Highway during 1982 Delhi Asiad Games."
"Clearly Bhajan Lal behaved in a communal manner and this added to the problems between the Sikhs and the Centre which led to the unfortunate developments in 1984," Buta Singh said while talking to mediapersons at the residence of Railway trade union leader Gulzar Singh.
