Shiromani Akali Dal president and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal on Wednesday said that ensuring exemplary punishments to all culprits of 1984 Sikh massacre has been put on priority list of National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
“NDA would set-up special fast track courts to put all culprits and accused responsible for this most heinous crime in Independent India behind the bars,” he said while replying to media queries after addressing a rally organised by Recognised and Affiliated School Association.
Sukhbir said that ‘Cobra Post Sting’ symbolised that a strong move has been initiated in the country to ensure justice for victims of 30-year-old Sikh carnage. “SAD is fighting for justice for last three decades but an environment of terror created by Congress party in the national capital has curbed attempts for justice,” he said.
“Cobrapost has done a remarkable job. We request all media and human rights organisation to speedup their work in this direction. Now, Congress days are numbered and it can no longer in a position to save its leaders from the hands of justice. We are eagerly waiting for setting up of NDA Government in the Centre to initiate fast track judicial process to ensure exemplary punishments to all the culprits,” said Sukhbir.
Expressing confidence that his MP wife and combine candidate from Bathinda, Harsimrat Badal would register a victory with a margin more than two lakh votes, he said, “None could spell even the name of any single village or town of the constituency which Harsimrat has not visited during last five years to get feedback and hear grievances besides initiating new development projects there.”
