The riots broke out after the assassination of former prime minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984.

The move comes a day after the High Court turned down his application seeking more time to surrender. The court had directed him to surrender by December 31.

Lamba said she was ready to face "any consequences" and claimed she spoke to AAP supremo and CM Kejriwal who, she said, asked her to resign as MLA.

The Delhi government should "strongly" convey in writing to the Union Home Ministry (MHA) that justice continues to elude the families and near-dear ones of the victims of the worst "genocide" in the history of India’s national capital, the resolution said.

Kumar, who was directed by the High Court on Monday to surrender before authorities by December 31, sought more time saying he has to settle family affairs.

On Monday, the Delhi High Court convicted Kumar for his role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and sentenced him to imprisonment for life.

The High Court dismissed their appeals against the conviction by a trial court for burning houses and curfew violations during the riots.
