NewsX: Former Delhi Police Commissioner admits shielding 1984 sikh riots
  • 5 years ago
The Delhi government on Wednesday announced formation of a Special Investigating Team (SIT) to probe the 1984 riots cases.
Hours later, the Delhi Congress hit back saying the AAP government was "playing political games in the name of religion". But the AICC maintained that it would accept such an investigation "with utmost humility".
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung on Wednesday to discuss the issue. "I have asked the L-G to form an SIT and he was positive on the issue," Kejriwal said.
Asked about whether the 30-year delay in setting up an SIT might make it tough to gather evidence, Minister Manish Sisodia said, "If we work honestly and with conviction, we can attain anything."
Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Harsh Vardhan said the BJP had always advocated the formation of an SIT to investigate the anti-Sikh riots.
"Rahul Gandhi, who is dreaming about becoming PM, should first order an investigation against his own party members. The Congress has been protecting its leaders all this while," he said.
