Amritsar, April 24 (ANI): There have been strong reactions in Sikh circles to the final conclusion of arguments in the Delhi Court that was hearing cases related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
On Monday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had concluded that Congress leader Sajjan Kumar had incited mobs to attacks Sikhs during the riots in New Delhi.
Sikh leaders have called on the
Manmohan-led UPA Government at the Centre to quit and take moral
responsibility for their leaders secret involvement in the anti-Sikh
riots.
Punjab Revenue and Public Relations Minister Bikram Singh Majithia said the Congress has no moral right to stay on in power at the Centre.
He said the Sikhs had all along maintained that the Congress leaders
had taken the law into their own hands in 1984, and added that the
Gandhi family was also responsible for the killing of hundreds of the
Sikhs.
Majithia said the Congress and
former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi acted hand in glove with the killers
of Sikhs, and added that Congress leaders and activists incited mobs to
act violently and in a retributive manner.
"Our stand had been vindicated
that the Congress was responsible for the killing and massacre of the
Sikhs in the national capital and other cities of the country in 1984'',
said Majithia.
BJP State Executive Member
Rajinder Mohan Singh said in a statement that what they had been saying
for the years has now come true.
"The CBI has finally admitted
that violence against the Sikhs had the backing of Congress leaders,''
he stated, adding it was Congress leaders like Sajjan Kumar who incited the mobs against the Sikhs.
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee's executive member, Rajinder Singh Mehta, said anti-Sikh riot victims were yet to get justice 28 years after the violent event.
