CHANDIGARH: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Sunday said the cat is out of bag after Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu’s adviser Malvinder Singh Mali put up a Facebook post, showing former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi with a gun “indicating how the Sikhs were targeted in 1984.”
Questioning the stance of Sidhu and chief minister Amarinder Singh, who had quit as an MP in the wake of the Operation Bluestar, Chugh said Mali’s post has exposed the Congress’s heinous game plan during the 1980s.
Chugh said while the BJP had always stood for justice for the Sikhs, it was the Vajpayee government which had for the first time laid the list of the Congress leaders involved in the anti-Sikh riots. The Modi government has subsequently made sure that the culprits were brought to book. Chugh questioned the Congress leaders for their “affection and favour” to Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler even after they had been held guilty by the inquiry commission.
The BJP leader questioned if Mali has been officially asked by Sidhu to attach such posts on Facebook. Earlier, Mali had ridiculed the nation by saying in a tweet that Jammu and Kashmir was not part of India, said Chugh.
