The Protests by a group of Sikhs against the Supreme court judgement acquitting Sajjan Kumar of his role in the 1984 riots which witnessed killing of innocent Sikhs is shocking and unacceptable. While they have all rights to protest, it should be done in a manner that will not affect public life or movement. The Metro that happens to be an important factor in any one's day to day life for commuting came to a grinding halt pushing thousands of travellers into inconvenience.
I fail to understand that every Metro station has a CISF patrol station and every traveller is scanned before letting him into the station. Under the circumstances, how did the CISF personnel allow so many protesters inside the Metro station to come on to the Railway track and even climb on to the Metro Rail? The Home Ministry must take a note and take serious view and take effective control so that there is no repeat performance by the disgruntled Sikhs.
If today the protesters are able to block the Metro, tomorrow the same group may forcibly enter the Airport and sabotage the system that is presently supervised and controlled by the CISF. There is dereliction of duty and suitable action must be taken.
The Sikhs can not bypass the judicial system and have to respect the law.
While on one hand they want pardon of Rajoana, killer of the former Chief Minister of Punjab, they must also understand that the Anti Sikh riots happened way back in 1984 and more than 29 years have passed and both Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler must have had horrendous time, fearing attack and murder all these years? Both of them must have died thousand times recounting the days they were alive?
It is time that the Sikh brothers learn to Live forgetting the past and working together for a better tomorrow!!
