Not party's view: Cong on Pitroda's remark

May 10, 2019 17:46

Congress party issues statement over Sam Pitroda's remark on 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

'...We continue to support the quest for justice for 1984 riot victims. Any opinion remark made by any individual to the contrary including Sam Pitroda is not the opinion of Congress party,' the statement says.

'We believe that justice should be done to 1984 riots victims as also to 2002 Gujarat riots victims. We abhor violence of any kind, against any person or a group of people based on their caste, colour, region or religion. This is the essence of India,' it said.

Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh said, "I have said it already, I don't accept that statement. It's duty of the successive governments to find out how it happened, who all were responsible, it must be found, doesn't matter how many years have passed." -- ANI
