Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday, 8 May, accused the Congress of disregarding the sentiments of Sikhs by awarding the post of Madhya Pradesh CM to Kamal Nath, an accused in the 1984 riots.
In an election rally in Haryana’s Fatehabad, PM Modi said, “Your chowkidar had promised the Sikh community that 1984 riots culprits will be punished. I am satisfied that the process of them being sentenced to death or life imprisonment has started.”
“But this shameless Congress is awarding those who were a part of the crime. By making a person who is said to be involved in 1984 anti-Sikh riots the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Congress has proved that it doesn’t care about your sentiments.”PM Narendra Modi
