1984 Anti-Sikh Riots: Sajjan Kumar Sentenced to Life Imprisonment

 Former Congress Member of Parliament, Sajjan Kumar, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a Delhi court for his role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. This ruling comes in a second case related to the violence that led to the deaths of thousands of Sikhs following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Kumar, who was convicted of inciting mobs to target Sikhs, had previously served as a senior political leader in India. The court’s decision has reignited debates over justice for the victims and the prolonged legal process, which many believe has failed to deliver swift justice. It marks a significant step in the long struggle for accountability.
