Delhi Court Acquits Sajjan Kumar in 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots Case

“My father was burnt alive before my eyes, and I have spent 42 years moving from one court to another, clinging to the belief that justice would one day arrive.”

“I myself was destroyed, and every good thing in my life was taken away.”

“He was responsible for the killing of thousands of Sikhs, and families like mine have spent their entire lives moving in and out of courtrooms.”

“If justice remained denied, they were ready to appeal to the high court and even the Supreme Court, expressing that they were no longer afraid to fight.”

“Ten members of my family were killed. I vividly remember that during the riots, the roads were littered with corpses. One had to jump over dead bodies to cross the road.”

“Our pain has now been completely disregarded. Satwant Singh was hanged; then why is the man responsible for the deaths of about a thousand people still alive?”

“The man she held responsible must be punished and hanged, warning that if this did not happen, they would remain outside the court, even if it meant dying there — they had nothing left to lose.”
