New Delhi, India: Congress party’s Vice President Rahul Gandhi has hand-picked Sikh Genocide 1984 accused Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler for a panel that would oversee party’s campaign for upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has strongly condemned the move.

Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh Lovely, Ajay Maken, Shakeel Ahmad and Harun Yusuf are amongst the other names on the Election Command Committee.

Delhi is heading to fresh elections after the Union Cabinet approved L-G Najeeb Jung’s recommendation to dissolve the Assembly.

The Sikh Genocide 1984 comprised various massacres of the Sikhs carried throughout India during first week of November in 1984. Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler are prime living accused of Sikh Genocide 1984 who instigated and supervised massacres of Sikhs in Delhi. They enjoyed impunity for last 30 years and they were granted powerful political positions from time to time.

Notably, the Gandhi scion has not named Sandeep Dikshit, former CM Sheila Dikshit’s son from the panel. He had recently been critical of Rahul’s brother-in-law Robert Vadra over his spat with a journalist.
