The acquittal of Sajjan Kumar by Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case has ignited fierce backlash from BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh. Describing it as ‘excruciatingly painful,’ Chugh mourned the denial of justice to victims even after 41 agonizing years.
Chugh’s interview revealed systemic worries: ‘Shielding culprits this late signals deep flaws in our justice delivery.’ He passionately vowed that Sikh massacre perpetrators would not evade retribution, stressing the emotional toll on bereaved families.
He leveled direct charges against Congress for habitually defending those implicated in atrocities. ‘This protection racket has blocked closure for the aggrieved,’ Chugh lamented, framing the verdict as part of a broader political conspiracy.
In brighter tidings, Chugh endorsed Rajasthan’s demographic correction policy. ‘Maintaining population balance is crucial for India’s future,’ he said. Targeting infiltrators for identification and expulsion, he argued it upholds poor citizens’ entitlements against unlawful competition.
This approach, per Chugh, fortifies security frameworks and fosters equilibrium. As political lines harden, his words amplify calls for rigorous justice and vigilant border management, positioning BJP as a champion for the overlooked.
