Tarun Chugh, National General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party, welcomed the landmark decision of the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi to frame murder charges against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. This significant development marks a crucial step towards justice for the victims and their families who have been awaiting accountability for nearly four decades.

Chugh stated, “Today marks a victory for truth and a defeat for the Congress party, which was responsible for the mass murder of Sikhs. The Congress party has always shielded those involved in the Sikh massacre. They made murderers MPs, Ministers, and Chief Minister. Today, truth has prevailed, and both Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler will be prosecuted on murder charges, as directed by the Rouse Avenue Court. It is now confirmed that Jagdish Tytler will also go to jail. The case should proceed with murder charges, and strict punishment must be given. The Congress party has protected these individuals. Those who killed Sikhs are Congress leaders. Kamal Nath, who led the mob that burned the Gurudwara, was made Chief Minister by the Gandhi-Nehru family. Today’s decision is historic. The Punjab Congress should clarify their stance on this.”
Chugh further questioned, “Punjab Congress leaders, what is their relationship with these mass murderers?” He thanked the Hon’ble Prime Minister and Home Minister for always upholding the Sikh community and their welfare. He added, “The Congress party, which established Jungle Raj and burned Sikhs alive, must now face justice after 40 years. The culprits should be punished.”
Chugh said “The court’s order reaffirms our faith in the judicial system and brings hope to the families who have endured immense suffering and loss. We stand in solidarity with the victims and their families and will continue to support them in their quest for justice.”
The 1984 anti-Sikh riots, which erupted following the assassination of then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, resulted in widespread violence and the deaths of thousands of Sikhs across India.
