Yes Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984 and followed her death was a massacre similar to Jewish Holocaust which was organised by then politicians from Congress and the one which happened in Delhi was more severe and Mr.Jagdish Tytler had been held responsible for the riot although it never proved as there was no circumstantial evidence of his presence during the massacre. There was an investigation which opened nearly three decades ago but of no results and what's worst was CBI plea to close the investigation on Mr.Jagdish giving him a clean chit. It was until a report from Nanavati's Commission in 2004, that Mr.Jagdish had involved in the massacre of Sikhs in Delhi, Court agreed to reopen the case but there was no progress from then. Again after eight years of no action, Delhi's sessions judge had issued a notice to bring evidence against Mr.Jagdish is someone is ready to come forward and prove. As CBI had already tried before with a report that he was not present at the riot scene, some evidence did suggest which never came into light or recorded of his direct involvement.
Hopefully, if the evidence is gathered correctly this time, may be the corrupt politician will be convicted. Whats painful to accept is the diminishing image of Central Bureau of Investigation for trying to save a politician who had been responsible for a communal riot which on a larger scale had encouraged many other politicians from congress to organize such crimes in other parts of North India in 1984. Author ends with a note that these riots were the roots for a modern crime organized for politicians which had continued further whenever there was a communal tension and a political motive behind. Only if the roots are plucked with true justice, we will have the hope that our judicial system is strong enough to prevent such massacres in future.
