1984 riots guilty remain unpunished: Jaitley

The BJP leader further alleged that the Justice Ranganath Mishra's Commission, appointed by the Congress government, provided a cover up for the “state sponsored” violence.  “After his retirement, this judge was rewarded with the Rajya Sabha nomination by the Congress Party,” he said. 

He claimed that that it was only the NDA government who appointed Justice Nanavati Commission of Inquiry which came out with the truth.

“Since then investigating agencies have tried to prosecute many of those involved in the riots,” Jaitley added.  

Jaitley, locked in a fierce battle against his Congress rival Amarinder Singh from Amritsar seat slammed him for giving “clean chit” to Congress leader Jagdish Tytler, saying that it was for the investigation and judicial process to find out the truth.

“Is he (Amarinder) trying to prejudge the guilt of a person who is perceived to be involved in the riots?,” he questioned.
