Shiromani Akali Dal MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa also lashed out at the Congress over the continuance of Kamal Nath as Chief Minister despite his alleged involvement in the 1984 riots targeting the Sikh community.

Former Congress leader Sajjan Kumar, 73, who is lodged in jail, resigned from the Congress party after he was convicted and awarded life term by the high court.

In January 2018, the Supreme Court had constituted a two-member committee to look into the aforementioned cases which were closed for the lack of evidence or due to the shoddy investigation.

This is the first meeting between Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after the recently-concluded general elections, in which BJP secured a massive mandate and Congress lost heavily in Madhya Pradesh.

The prime minister's jibe came after Rahul Gandhi said Sam Pitroda should be 'ashamed' of his 'hua to hua' remarks and apologise

'While they (Congress leaders) were saying 'hua to hua', the people of the country were saying 'enough is enough', Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at a rally in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh.

The article, which is a sharp criticism of Modi's leadership, has been written by Aatish Taseer, who is the son of Indian journalist Tavleen Singh, and late Pakistani politician and businessman Salmaan Taseer.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi noted that the 1984 anti-Sikh riots were a needless tragedy that caused tremendous pain, and said 'justice has to be done' and anybody guilty must be punished.

Congress leader Sam Pitroda on Friday apologised for his 'Hua To Hua" remark on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, saying it had been “misrepresented” as his Hindi was “not good”, even as the Congress party distanced itself from his remarks.

Sam Pitroda's remarks on 1984 anti-Sikh riots reflect the 'arrogance' of the Congress, PM Narendra Modi said addressing a poll rally on the last day of campaigning for the sixth phase of Lok Sabha elections in Rohtak.
