:dateline:Seeking a fresh probe into the 1984 Sikh genocide as a premeditated and politically motivated attempt to woo Delhi Sikh voters, senior Congress leader and former MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira questioned if the BJP was serious about providing justice to the genocide victims, why had it waited for eight months to implement a decision taken by the Kejriwal government.
Khaira said, �The Congress dares the Modi government to also probe the role of 49 BJP and RSS workers named in 14 FIRs by the Jain-Aggarwal committee (1992-94). An FIR (No. 35) dated June 8, 1992, carries the name of Ram Kumar, a prominent Delhi BJP leader and Vajpayee�s election agent during the 1980 poll as an accused in cases of rioting, dacoity and attempt to murder.�
He admitted that the Congress had failed to deliver justice to the victims, but he maintained that the role of the BJP and the SAD remained no better and these parties were now shedding crocodile tears for their political ends.
�Why has not Badal�pressurized the Modi government to implement the Nanavati Commission report? Badal must make clear what he has done for the rehabilitation of the genocide victims residing in Punjab,� he added.
