Jalandhar, January 12: Punjab Cabinet Minister Rana Gurjit Singh said Congress had no role in 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi. The Congress even after 33 years says it is not responsible for the 1984 anti- Sikh riots. “There is no point in blaming Congress for 1984 anti-Sikhs riots as the party had no role it”. Rana added.
Minister welcomed the order of formation of Special Investigation Team(SIT) by Supreme Court to re-investigate 1984 massacre cases which were closed. It is pertinent to mention here that after the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, large-scale riots took place in Delhi, in which several Sikhs were killed, which was allegedly propagated by the ruling party of Congress.
