Sukhbir Badal appreciates Rajnath to bring SIT to investigate Tytler role in 1984 genocide
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal today appreciated the NDA government and Home Minister Rajnath Singh for their resolve to bring the perpetrators of the 1984 Sikh massacres to book by referring new disclosures in the case against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler to SIT Chairman Justice (retired) S N Dhingra for investigation.
Addressing a press conference here, the SAD president said “the wheels of justice have finally started moving against Jagdish Tytler as well as other genocide perpetrators. Even the role of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi will be under the scanner for the first time because new evidence links him directly with the Congress leaders who led mobs which butchered Sikhs in Delhi. This is a big victory for the massacre victims who have been waiting for justice since 33 years”.
He said the letter to the SIT constituted by the Supreme Court has asked it to probe the disclosures with reference to the involvement of Tytler, Kamal Nath, HKL Bhagat and Sajjan Kumar.
“The Nanavati Commission states that 39 Sikhs were killed in Adarsh Nagar, 35 in Sabji Mandi and 15 in Kingsway camps. These areas also witnessed burning of twelve gurdwaras, 64 factories, 133 shops and 45 houses”.
Stating that he was confident that the entire case would unravel now, Mr. Badal said many startling disclosures had come out regarding Tyler’s role with a recent video showing him boasting about having massacred 100 Sikhs. “The self-disclosure by Tytler stating that he had taken Rajiv Gandhi to various places in Delhi on November 1 proves a deeper conspiracy to target Sikhs in a planned manner because the areas visited by Rajiv were immediately wreaked by mayhem against the Sikh community.
“Now it is necessary to ascertain where all the Prime minister’s security vehicles moved in Delhi with Tytler and Rajiv Gandhi on a fateful day. Their logbooks need to be examined for this purpose”, he added.
Mr Badal also demanded that a fresh FIR should be registered against Jagdish Tytler in this case and his passport should be impounded. He said Tytler should also be subjected to polygraph and narco test to ascertain the role the former PM Rajiv Gandhi and all other accused in the massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other parts of the country.
The SAD president also pointed out that Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was playing a dubious role in the entire matter with the Delhi health ministry stating in court since three months that its lie detector machine was out of order. “The Delhi government should conduct this test immediately without any further delay”, he added.
