EnterTheVoid Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Blind Freddy and his dog could have seen the verdict coming from a mile away.
The Outsider Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Court convicts 5 others in the case relating to killing of 5 Sikhs by a mob in Delhi Cantonment area here in 1984. At least some semblance of justice for the victims. As for big fish like Sajjan Kumar, getting to them in our defunct and corrupt system is mostly fantasy.
Sachin=GOD Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Joy @Joydas Govt has reduced Price of Petrol by Rs 3 Today so that Victims of 1984 Massacre can go and self-immolate. They anyway won't get justice :(
jiggo Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Hopefully this murderer will become Home Minister in 2014 with the family's backing. Happy days. Pathetic verdict from SC.
Number Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 His master got Bharat Ratan, so he at least deserves to live without punishment. :dontknow:
dial_100 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Yup good job. Justice it is... who gives f@k abt 1984 anyway. talk about last decade... talk about 2002....
FischerTal Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 There were eyewitness accounts of him leading mobs. How much more powerful evidence can there be?
Sachin=GOD Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 Press Trust of India @PTI_News 1m Delhi court awards life imprisonment to three convicts in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.
Sachin=GOD Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 Press Trust of India @PTI_News Congress leader Sajjan Kumar's acquittal in a 1984 anti-Sikh riot case challenged in Delhi High Court by victims' family. now it goes to High Court......next to Supreme Court....then Review petition. At this rate both Sajjan Kumar and the victim's family will be dead by the time this is finally decided :(
Sachin=GOD Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 ^opposing modi doesn't mean that I support criminals like Sajjan Kumar or that I don't want justice for the victims of the 1984 riots.
Sachin=GOD Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 so when was the last time you spew venom against the biggest tragedy in modern India : the Kashmir issue ? Just curious. I do not have enough knowledge about that issue so I don't participate in debates about it.
