Sikh Genocide 1984

New Delhi, India (March 06, 2014): Jagdish Tytler, the controversial Congress leader accused of inciting genocidal violence against the Sikhs in November 1984, has abandoned plans to run for Indian Parliament.

As per media reports Jagdish Tytler pulled out the primary being held to select the party’s candidate for North-East Delhi after a meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

In the last Parliamentary elections of India in 2009, the Congress party had aborted its plan to field Jagdish Tytler as a candidate after facing strong resentment.

It is notable that high ups in the Congress party and the Indian administration perpetrated the Sikh genocidal violence against the Sikhs in November 1984, in which thousands of Sikhs were massacred throughout India. In a recent TV interview Congress Party’s vice-president Rahul Gandhi unwillingly admitted that “some” of the congressmen (Congress Party’s men) were “probably” involved in November 1984 massacre of the Sikhs.

Culprits like Jagdish Tytler have enjoyed impunity and high political posts during past three decades where as the victims of the massacre were left to perish as the justice was blatantly denied in these cases.
