Congress ex-MP Sajjan Kumar has been convicted for leading mob that murdered two Sikh men in Delhi's Saraswati Vihar, and has been sentenced to rigorous life imprisonment.
The ex-Congress MP was found guilty for murder of 2 Sikh men. Kumar has been behind bars for 6 yrs, serving life term in another 1984 case for burning a gurdwara & killing 5 Sikhs.
In 2017, Delhi HC criticised 1986 acquittals of 10 men in anti-Sikh riots cases and issued an interim order for a retrial. But there has been no relief for victims so far.
Kumar, who is serving life imprisonment, sought interim bail saying he has spent 20 months in jail, lost nearly 16 kgs and needed to recover from past ailments.
Declining the interim bail plea, the top court bench, holding proceedings via video conferencing, said that it would hear the regular bail application in July.
Former Congress leader Sajjan Kumar, who is serving a life sentence in an anti-Sikh riots case, sought an urgent listing of his bail plea on health grounds.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Very glad to see justice being served for the ghastly 1984 riots. Those who engineered these riots must be properly convicted.
One hopes that similar actions are taken for those who engineered the other terrible riots that happend in the courty including the 2002 Gujarat and the 202 Delhi riots.
The political class should know unequivocally that setting humans against each other in the name ot religion and ideology will have consequences for them.
