April 20, 2014 00:11

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today described as "shocking" the reported "clean chit" given by Congress leader Amarinder Singh to Jagdish Tytler, one of the accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, during a TV interview.

"Today, Amarinder has chosen to stand by those who tortured and killed innocent Sikhs," Badal said. "Amarinder shamelessly declares that Tyler had no role in the killing of Sikhs. Shock and utter disbelief is what I felt when I was told about this," he said.
