Abstract

Former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar was sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, specifically for the murder of Jaswant Singh and his son Tarundeep Singh. The riots occurred after the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards, and protesters demanded justice, with some calling for the death penalty for Kumar. The BJP has criticized the Congress for not taking appropriate action and has called for Kumar's expulsion from the party. [Extracted from the article]
