NEW DELHI—On November 4, members of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) staged a protest outside residence of All India Congress Committee’s Head Sonia Gandhi seeking justice for the 1984 Sikh genocide victims. The protesters led by Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhik Committee’s President Manjit Singh GK and General Secretary Manjinder Singh Sirsa accused the Congress of shielding 1984 Sikh genocide culprits from legal action.
DSGMC President Manjit Singh GK said that the Congress has facilitated its lawyer Salman Khursheed to defend Sajjan Kumar from legal action. He said that the petition moved by Sajjan Kumar raising suspicion over a judge was defamation to Indian judiciary.
The protesters also lashed out at the All India Congress Committee Head Sonia Gandhi for giving asylum to the key perpetrator of 1984 Sikh genocide Jagdish Tytler.
