NEW DELHI: Top BJP leaders, including its president Amit Shah , pounced on Congress leader Sam Pitroda ’s statement on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and said the nation would never forgive Congress for its sins.“Agony of the entire Sikh community. Suffering of all those Sikh families killed by Congress leaders in 1984. Attack on Delhi’s secular ethos. All summed up in these three words by Sam Pitroda — ‘hua to hua’. India will never forgive murderer Congress for its sins,” Shah tweeted.Responding to a question by a TV reporter, Pitroda had said “84 me jo hua so hua” and demanded that BJP should explain its performance in the past five years.Union minister Prakash Javadekar too condemned Pitroda’s comment. “Today, a shocking statement has come from Sam Pitroda, Rahul’s guru and Rajiv’s colleague. He has said that whatever happened in 1984, where 3,000 Sikhs were burnt alive, ‘hua to hua, hua to kya hua’. This is never heard. Nobody has said this. Rajiv Gandhi had justified this genocide by saying when a big tree falls, the earth shakes. Science doesn’t say this. Science says the opposite, when earth shakes, trees fall. This shocker by Sam Pitroda is absolutely horrible. Can’t accept it,” he said.Javadekar asked Sonia and Rahul Gandhi to apologise over Pitroda’s comments. “We condemn this and we demand that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi should apologise not only to the Sikhs but to the nation. If this is the guru, what can be the ‘chela’? People will teach you a lesson democratically,” he added.Pitroda was speaking to the media on BJP’s charge citing the Nanavati Commission report that instructions for the violence had come from then PM Rajiv Gandhi. Answering a question, Pitroda angrily said, “I don’t think so, this is also another lie, and what is with 1984? You speak about what happened in five years. It happened in 1984, so what? (1984 hua to hua).”Earlier, BJP had tweeted, “It is on record of Nanavati Commission that probed the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the biggest genocide of India in which the government killed its own citizens, that instructions to kill came directly from the then PM Rajiv Gandhi’s office. The country awaits justice for this karma.”
