BJP's Troubling Tribute to Sajjan Kumar The recent visit by three Bharatiya Janata Party MPs to the residence of deceased Congress leader Sajjan Kumar has sparked a heated debate within the party.
The visit, ostensibly a gesture of condolence after Kumar's passing, takes on a more nuanced meaning when considered in light of Kumar's role in the 1984 anti Sikh riots.
The violence that swept through Delhi left thousands dead and many more scarred for life. Sajjan Kumar was one of the accused, and his conviction by a special court in 2013 marked a long awaited victory for justice.
