:dateline:Despite making high claims of constituting a Special Investigation Team to probe the carnage of 127 Sikhs in Kanpur during the 1984 Sikh genocide, the BJP led state government of Uttar Pradesh government has still not submitted the report sought by the Supreme Court of India about the carnage of 127 Sikhs in Kanpur. The Supreme Court of India has fixed January 2 for conducting further hearing on a petition seeking investigation of these cases.
Addressing a press conference on December 28, the �All-India Riot Victims Relief Committee (AIRVRC)� head Kuldip Singh Bhogal said that the UP CM Yogi Adityanath was misleading the Sikh community on the issue of setting up a special investigating team (SIT) to probe these cases. He added that the BJP led UP government had repeatedly failed to submit a report to the Supreme Court as sought by the latter in these cases.
Bhogal informed that an RTI had revealed three years ago that 127 Sikhs were brutally murdered by the Hindu mobs in Kanpur during the 1984 Sikh genocide, but no chargesheet was found in the Police stations of Kanpur in this concern. �Later, we moved a PIL in the Supreme Court seeking a CBI probe and constitution of a Special Investigation Team to investigate these cases,� he said while adding that the apex court had asked the Union Home Ministry to file an affidavit in this regard but no affidavit has been filed even after more than a year.
