The BJP, on Thursday, kicked a controversy when it said the “instructions to kill” during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots came “directly from (former Prime Minister) Rajiv Gandhi’s office. This follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks at an election rally at Delhi Ramlila Maidan, on Wednesday, when he connected the 1984 Sikh pogrom with the Congress.
Modi had said, “Congress is talking about Nyay these days. It will have to tell who would be accountable for the injustice of 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Those who are facing riot charges have been made chief ministers. What kind of Nyay is this?”
The BJP, on Twitter, posted: “It’s on record of Nanavati Commission that probed the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the biggest genocide of India in which the government killed its own citizens, that instructions to kill came directly from the then PM Rajiv Gandhi's office. The country awaits justice for this karma.”
