Rajiv Gandhi, PV Narsimha Rao main culprits in 1984 anti-Sikh riots:  Dal Khalsa

Fatehgarh Sahib, Dec 26 (UNI) Terming the then Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Home Minister PV Narsimha Rao as main culprits in the November 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the Dal Khalsa asked the Akali Dal to press upon the Modi government to put both of them on trial in absentia rather than paying lip-service to the cause of justice.
Party leaders HS Cheema and Kanwar Pal Singh said the first and foremost task for all Sikhs, including Akalis, should be to bring both the main conspirators of the riots to book rather than harping on withdrawal of Bharat Ratna Award from Rajiv, which is of secondary importance.
The leaders of pro-freedom group said Akali Dal should primarily focus on putting Rajiv Gandhi on trial though in absentia for the sake of justice rather than petitioning Modi government to remove Rajiv's name from public schemes.
