1984 riots: Massive protests outside Congress HQ in capital
- 5 years ago
Hundreds of Sikh protesters belonging to Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today staged a protest outside Congress headquarter against its Amritsar Lok Sabha candidate Amarinder Singh's "clean chit" to fellow party leader Jagdish Tytler in the anti-Sikh riots of 1984.
Led by Delhi SAD president Manjit Singh GK, protesters reached the Congress office at 24, Akbar Road this afternoon, holding placards and raised slogans against Amarinder and Tytler. Police also erected barricades to prevent them from reaching the Congress office and later had to resort to use of water cannons to disperse them. The protests came in the wake of Amarinder recently telling a news channel that while other Congress leaders may be linked to the riots, Tytler played no role in the violence.
