Former Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Tuesday urged UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi to order Congress leader Kamal Nath to resign as Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and face the law of the land on charges of scripting the gruesome massacre of thousands of innocent Sikhs in 1984.
“The long arm of law has finally begun to close in around the necks of the high and mighty in the Congress High Command. With Sajjan Kumar convicted, decks have been cleared for the law to lay its hand on the other guilty men like Kamanth and Jagdish Tytler,” he said.
Badal said the judiciary and its latest judgment in the country's worst massacre since independence has provided the biggest boost to the people's faith in the system and will promote sentiments of nationalism in the hearts of the people, especially the minorities who had been feeling discriminated against by the system.
Applauding and thanking the judiciary for its role, besides the Prime Minister for setting up SIT resulting in reopening of cases, Badal described the verdict against Sajjan Kumar as “the beginning of the process which will lead to the conviction of the actual and final head which ordered the genocide of 1984”.
