Congress president Rahul Gandhi posts the following on his official Facebook page:

I think what Sam Pitroda Ji said is completely out of line and he should apologise for it.

I think 1984 was a needless tragedy that caused tremendous pain.

I think justice has to be done. The people who were responsible for the 1984 tragedy have to be punished.

The former PM, Manmohan Singh Ji has apologised. My mother, Sonia Gandhi Ji has apologised.

We all have made our position very clear -- that 1984 was a terrible tragedy and should never have happened.

What Mr Sam Pitroda has said is absolutely and completely out of line and is not appreciated.

I will be communicating this to him directly.

He must apologise for his comment.
