BJP justified the 1984 Massacre and supported Indra Gandhi for Blue Star Operation
he perpetrators of 1984 carnage of Sikhs in India still remain unidentified and unpunished; almost 30 years after the massacre.
Most shockingly, on April 30, 2013 a Delhi court absolved a major organizer of this carnage, Sajjan Kumar, of the crime. A debate on NDTV is on that issue. The participants areProfessor Uma Chakarvarty, a historian and activist, one representative each from BJP & Congress.
S. Islam's intervention aimed at highlighting the fact that both Congress & BJP indulge in a pseudo debate on the incidents of carnage of minorities and Dalits. Whenever, massacre of these sections takes place a commission is set-up which continues for decades, holds nobody responsible and its recommendations are never enforced.
We can see the same thing happening in case of Nellie Massacre (1983), Hashimpura Massacre (1987), Bhagalpur Massacre (1989), 1984 Massacre (1984), Gujarat 2002 Massacre, and incidents of Dalit massacre at Lakshmipet AP (2012), Laxmanpur, Bihar (1997), Khairlanji, Maharashtra (2006), Bathani Tola, Bihar (1996) and many-many more. However, if any violence is committed by minorities and Dalits it is immediately punished with severest sentences including death penalty.
Well known social scientist Prof. Shamsul Islam says, "BJP claims to be a supporter of Sikhs but there are documents proving that they justified the 1984 Massacre and supported Indra Gandhi for Blue Star Operation."
