Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) President Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Thursday said that keeping in view the findings of the Nanavati Commission, the government should withdraw Bharat Ratna from Rajiv Gandhi.
"Indira Gandhi was assassinated on October 31 but no violence took place that day and very next day on November 1. But after Rajiv Gandhi took oath as Prime Minister he ordered his loyal workers Sajjan Kumar, H.K.L. Bhagat, Jagdish Tytler, Kamal Nath and others to avenge the killing of his mother," Sirsa said.
He said the government should withdraw Bharat Ratna from Rajiv Gandhi. The DSGMC President said a person who organises genocide cannot hold a Bharat Ratna.
Sirsa also accused then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi of threatening the police and judiciary in public speeches to keep them off the culprits.
