Victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots stage protest in Delhi - India News and Travel Times Provides India-centric and other News and Features

A large number of victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots staged a protest rally here on Monday against the Central government's failure to punish the accused in murder of innocent Sikhs. Atma Ram, one of the relatives of the riots, said that the Supreme Court should punish the main accused in the 1984 riots at the earliest. "We want to appeal to judiciary that criminals like Sajjan Kumar (1984 riots accused), who is facing charges under section 302 according to the Indian Penal Code should not be given bail and he should be behind bars. This is how we will get satisfaction. He still tries to harass people and doesn't let them live in peace and he is trying to delay the proceedings in the Supreme Court, whereas the High Court said that we will get justice within six months," said Atma Ram.
