Indira Gandhi responsible for Operation Blue Star; Congress must stop its deceitful attempts to suppress Sikhs: Inderbir Singh Nijjar
Punjab E News: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) senior leaders and Member of Parliament Malvinder Singh Kang and MLA Inderbir Singh Nijjar have strongly reacted to Congress leader P. Chidambaram’s recent statement regarding the 1984 Sikh genocide.
The leaders questioned why the Congress continues to repeatedly hurt the sentiments of Sikhs and why Rahul Gandhi still keeps Jagdish Tytler, one of the culprits of the Sikh massacre, by his side. They pointed out that the Congress is still honouring the main accused, Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler, and Kamal Nath, by giving them key positions and recognition. The leaders said that the atrocities committed by Congress can never be forgotten.
Kang questioned, “This is the same Congress that openly honored those involved in the mass killings of Sikhs in Delhi, Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler, and Kamal Nath, by giving them ministerial and chief ministerial positions. Rahul Gandhi should tell the nation, for how long will he continue to reward and protect such people?”
He warned Chidambaram that merely admitting that what happened was wrong does not erase Congress’ crimes and sins. He said that the wounds inflicted on Sikhs in Punjab and Delhi are still fresh in the hearts of Sikhs across the world. Kang added that Sikhs can never forget Congress’ atrocities and the genocide committed against them and that Congress can never be forgiven for these crimes.
AAP MLA Inderbir Singh Nijjar, reacting to Chidambaram’s remarks about Operation Blue Star, said that trying to share the blame with the army and intelligence agencies, instead of placing full responsibility on Indira Gandhi, was a clear attempt to shield the Congress leadership.
He clarified that everything that happens in the country is done with the consent of the head of state. During Operation Blue Star, Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister, and she was fully responsible for the entire episode. He said that Sikhs in Punjab and across the world can never forgive Indira Gandhi and the Congress for the attack on Sri Harmandir Sahib.
Nijjar also questioned Congress’ continued defense of the culprits of the 1984 Delhi riots, saying that Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler, and Kamal Nath had played a direct role in instigating violence and killing Sikhs. Yet, Congress rewarded them with ministries and chief ministerial posts, clearly showing that the party’s intentions were never sincere.
He said that Congress has never been a well-wisher of the Sikh community and has always tried to suppress Sikhs through deceit and political manipulation.
In conclusion, both leaders said that Congress must stop its deceitful tactics and that all those guilty of the Sikh genocide should be immediately punished.
