New Delhi: Indian Defence Minister Arun Jaitley’s claim that the Ontario parliament’s Sikh Genocide 1984 was an exaggeration of the facts stands exposed in wake of the fact that similar motion was passed by Delhi State Assembly itself on June 30, 2015.
Interestingly, the motion which clearly referred to the events of November 1984 as “genocide” was support by BJP MLAs in the state assembly of Delhi. The motion was moved by the then AAP MLA from Rajouri Garden- Jarnail Singh and it was passed by the house unanimously.
