SAD MLA raises 1984 genocide issue

New Delhi: While participating in the debate on the Lieutenant Governor’s speech, SAD MLA from Rajouri Garden Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that the LG’s speech had not mentioned the economic condition of the 1984 Sikh genocide victims.

They live in dilapidated houses and their economic condition is also poor, he said.

Sirsa was supported by BJP MLA R.P. Singh when he was countered by the AAP MLA Jagdeep Singh. Countering Sirsa, Jagdeep said that he had never visited Tilak Vihar where the riot victims resided.

This comment had made Sirsa angry who said, “I know there is no hope of justice for the victims as you have support of the party that was responsible for the riot.”

Congress MLA Arvinder Singh Lovely opposed Sirsa.
