Fatehgarh Sahib, June 26
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said the BJP-led NDA government would deliver justice to the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. He said a special investigating team (SIT) had recommended that 22 cases pertaining to the riots be reopened.
He was here to attend a function on the 300th martyrdom anniversary of legendary Sikh warrior Baba Banda Singh Bahadur.
On AAP convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Keriwal's allegation that the SIT was a mere eyewash, he said, “I want to assure you that we have initiated effective measures. Whenever I come to Punjab, I get the feeling that the issue is still simmering." He said the Sikh community should place its trust in the Modi government for justice.
Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal heaped praise on Rajnath for enhancing compensation for the riot-hit.
