Punjab BJP condemns Congress for celebrating relief to Sajjan Kumar
The BJP leader in Punjab, Pritpal Singh Baliawal, is very upset with the Congress party.
The Congress celebrated when a court gave some relief to their leader, Sajjan Kumar, who is involved in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
Baliawal says this celebration is disrespectful to the families who lost loved ones in the riots.
He thinks the Congress is trying to ignore the fact that Kumar has already been convicted in other cases related to the violence.
Baliawal believes the Congress is trying to make Kumar look like a hero, which is hurtful to the Sikh community.
He says the Congress is trying to cover up the crimes of 1984 and insult the Sikh community.
Punjab BJP leader Pritpal Singh Baliawal condemned the Congress for celebrating the relief granted to Sajjan Kumar in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.
Baliawal described the celebration as a disgraceful and insensitive act that exposes Congress' complicity in the 1984 riots.
He stated that the celebration is an insult to the memory of those who lost their lives and a direct assault on the dignity of Sikh families seeking justice.
Baliawal condemned Delhi Congress Mahila Wing president Pushpa Singh for portraying the relief as a 'victory of truth' and glorifying Kumar through posters.
He pointed out that Kumar has already been convicted in other cases related to the 1984 violence and is currently serving a sentence.
