If your family is killed would you still say 'hua to hua'?: Harsimrat

May 10, 2019 15:16

Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Friday hit out at Sam Pitroda for his recent remark on the 1984 Sikh genocide, asking that if his entire family is killed tomorrow would he still think or say "hua to hua"."I would like to ask Mr Pitroda if his entire family is killed tomorrow will he still think 'hua to hua'. He needs to go to that widow colony and find out those thousands of women who lost their family members overnight," the Union Minister told ANI.

Pitroda, who was asked about BJP's claim that instructions to "kill" in 1984 had come from late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, had said, "It (riots) happened in 1984, so what?"

The Indian Overseas Congress chief's remarks were met with strong criticism by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party men, while Pitroda claimed his statement was twisted by the ruling party.
