it was on the instruction of the former prime minister that the 1984 anti-Sikh riots happened. “It’s 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,” tweeted BJP from its official handle.
Reminding the people about the 1984 anti-Sikh riots which saw killings on the streets of Delhi following the assassination of Indira Gandhi, Primer Minister Modi, during his rally in Delhi, said the Congress is talking about ‘Nyay’ these days, but who will deliver justice to victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots. “These days Congress is talking about nyay (justice). Congress will have to answer for the anyay (injustices) suffered by the victims of the anti-Sikh riots of 1984. Congress will also have to answer how is it justified to appoint a riot accused as the chief minister of a state,” PM Modi said.
The prime minister also accused the Gandhi family of using INS Viraat for holiday trip when Rajiv Gandhi was at the country’s helm.
Modi said, “Friends, have you ever heard of anyone going on a holiday with his family on a warship? Don’t be surprised at this question. This has happened, in our country. The biggest namdaar family of the Congress had used INS Viraat, the country’s pride, as its personal taxi.”
“INS Viraat was securing the maritime boundaries at the time. But it was sent to fetch the Gandhi family going on vacation… In the list of holidayers were members of his sasuraal. Was the country’s security jeopardised or not?” he said, as the crowd cheered.

Having followed Modiji’s speeches at election rallies it’s clear that gloves are off and for slight accusation from Congress BJP are hitting back with far more for the Gandhis to handle
Modiji wanted the contest to be on progress however Congress move by calling him Chor seriously backfired and all their past deeds are out in the open.
Modi`s statement that Rajiv Gandhi gave instructions to kill Sikhs is not a desirable statement. The truth is most of the Hindus and even Jansang members participated in riots in Delhi after the Indira Gandhi was murders by her own Sikh body guard . Whatever happened it was very bad and it is foolishness to remember such things . We Hindu punjabis and Siks are the same people and will remain the same. Now what happened in Gujarat , Do we need remind ?
