‘There is no debate on the 1984 tragedy’: Rahul Gandhi to Sam Pitroda 

Rahul Gandhi.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi, on Saturday, rejected the senior Congress leader Sam Pitroda’s remarks about the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Gandhi, in a conversation with NDTV's Ravish Kumar after an election rally at Shujalpur, Madhya Pradesh, said Sam Pitroda was wrong to make those remarks.

While speaking to news agency ANI, on Thursday, Pitroda said that the bloody riots that claimed nearly 3,000 lives in the aftermath of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination are not worth discussing now.

Gandhi said, “Sam Pitroda was wrong to say what he did. I told him that you cannot say things like this. There is no debate on the 1984 tragedy. Whoever committed violence, they should be 100 per cent punished.”
