STOCKTON: Speaking at the historic Gurdwara in Stockton from where the Gaddar Movement of India’s independence was launched Ram Jethmalani the eminent lawyer and vice President of Bhartiya Janata Party squarely blamed Congress (I) functionaries for the Outrage against Sikhs in Delhi and other cities of India after Indira Gandhi’s assassination. He said that he was an eyewitness to the tragedy in Delhi and he knocked at the doors of Ministers and! Officials including the Home Minister of India to make the official machinery stop the holocaust but in vain. “It gave the names of Congress (1) MP’s and other leaders who were inciting and leading the attacking mobs to the Home Minister who phoned a few police stations but without any effect,” he said.
Jethamnali tried to explain that the holocaust was the work of confirmed criminals, goondas, thieves and thugs and not of Hindu neighbors who by and large protected the Sikhs, he said.
Mr., Jethmalani tried in vain to sell the idea of Hindu Sikh Unity and wanted the Sikhs to forgive and forget and advised them against actingin anger. He also wanted the Sikhs to leave the punishment of culprits to God and refrain from using separatist language.
