Wel­com­ing con­victed Con­gress leader Saj­jan Ku­mar land­ing in jail for life for his in­hu­man crimes, the Dal Khalsa, in a a state­ment hoped to see all con­spir­a­tors of the No­vem­ber 1984 killings brought to jus­tice in 2019.

Jus­tice is not a con­ces­sion and in the pre­sent case, it has been given out too late, at a time when the ag­grieved fam­i­lies had al­most lost all hopes to see the per­pe­tra­tors be­hind bars, said party Dal Khalsa spokesper­son Kan­warpal Singh.

See­ing some of the big fish land in the net of jus­tice and go be­hind bars, it gives a sense of re­lief to vic­tim fam­i­lies fight­ing for jus­tice since 34 years, he ob­served.

Re­leas­ing the party state­ment, he said, that jus­tice has eluded in hun­dreds of cases where fren­zied mobs or­ches­trated by then In­dian PM and Home Min­is­ter Ra­jiv Gandhi and P V Nar­sima Rao killed Sikhs.

Dal Khalsa en­dorsed the call for ho­n­our­ing lawyers in­clud­ing Harvin­der Singh Phoolka for their un­wa­ver­ing con­tri­bu­tion to the cause of jus­tice all these years.

The Con­gress gov­ern­ment of those times not only en­gi­neered the mas­sacre but also ob­structed the law to take its own course by not reg­is­ter­ing FIRs against its own so-called VIP lead­ers.  As Saj­jan Ku­mar goes to prison, the Dal Khalsa leader also re­called that Con­gress Mem­bers of Par­lia­ment Ar­jan Dass and Lalit Maken were killed by Sikh mil­i­tants.
