25 yrs..Justice for ’84 Anti-Sikh riots ?..Still a question!

Even though the Sikh journo Jarnail Singh apologised for his ‘Shoe-cide’ attack on the Home minister Mr. P. Chindambaram, the fire within the hundreds and thousands of sikh mothers, wives, sisters who lost their sons, husbands, brothers in the Anti-Sikh massacre of 1984 can’t be brought down easily.

The ’84 killings were mercilessly planned and executed by the state, with a breathtaking disregard for governance and constitutional rights. After this bloodbath, the state and its partners-in-crime preferred to forget the bloody drama they had enacted.

Are the lives of innocent men, women and children of so little consequence to politicians and men in public office that they can be brutally murdered en masse in the country’s capital for over four days before an effort is made to stop the killings? Does it then have to take nearly 25 years and 10 inquiry commissions to book the guilty for the chilling inhumanity against the Sikhs who, since the 1700s, have shed more blood for their motherland than any other people?

“In reality, the political careers of Bhagat and Tytler, far from suffering on account of ‘the taint of 1984’, blossomed as if they had been rewarded for engineering the violence. Having won the ’84 election under the shadow of the carnage, Rajiv Gandhi immediately promoted Bhagat to the rank of cabinet minister, and inducted Tytler into the government for the first time as minister of state. Both remained in the Rajiv Gandhi government till the end of its tenure in 1989″
