CHANDIGARH, Punjab—Appointed by the Union government of India to crack 1984 Sikh genocide cases, the Special Investigation Team is going to reopen seven Sikh genocide cases which include the one in which Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath is accused of giving shelter to five genocide culprits. It is learnt that in these seven cases, either the accused were acquitted or the trial was closed and the SIT may consider fresh evidences against the accused in these cases.
These seven cases were registered in 1984 at police stations in Vasant Vihar, Sun Light Colony, Kalyanpuri, Parliament Street, Connaught Place, Patel Nagar and Shahdara.
“A big Victory for @Akali_Dal_ SIT Opens case against @OfficeOfKNath for his alleged involvement in 1984 Sikh genocide,” DSGMC president Manjinder S Sirsa said in a tweet.
“Notification issued by MHA upon my submission last year, Case number 601/84 to reopen & consider fresh Evidence against Kamal Nath,” he added.
Talking to media on the development, Sirsa said that two witnesses were ready to depose against the Congress leader. “We talked to them today, they’ve agreed to depose before SIT whenever they are called. We talked to SIT today, they said they will give us a specific date,” Sirsa said. He also demanded security for two witnesses.
Sirsa urged Congress president Sonia Gandhi to seek the resignation of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath so that Sikhs get justice for the 1984 Sikh genocide committed near Gurdwara Rakab Ganj in the national capital.
“We demand that Congress president should immediately take resignation of Kamal Nath and oust him from his post so that the Sikhs get justice,” Sirsa told media.
