‘Pitroda Should Be Ashamed,’ Says Rahul; Modi Rakes Up Issue Too

Last week, Pitroda brushed off the 1984 anti-Sikh riots saying, “It happened in 1984, so what”.

With Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP continuing their attack on the Congress over Sam Pitroda's remarks on the 1984 riots, party chief Rahul Gandhi on Monday, 13 May, said the leader should be ashamed of himself and seek apology from the country.

While addressing a rally at Solan in Himachal Pradesh on Monday, the prime minister fired a fresh salvo, raking up the issue.

“They (Congress) ask for votes in the name of their ancestors, but when questioned on their ancestors misdeeds, they say hua to hua (what’s done is done),” news agency ANI quoted Modi as saying.
