A political controversy has erupted within the BJP after three of its Delhi Lok Sabha MPs paid a condolence visit to the residence of former Congress leader Sajjan Kumar following his death on August 20.
Following the controversy, BJP National President Nitin Nabin summoned the three MPs and reprimanded them for violating the party’s stated position on the 1984 riots, according to sources.
“Their action is against the party line. “Not only has the BJP been demanding justice, but it actively participated in this fight. But it is not only the party president. The whole party is upset about this. I am surprised. How could they do it? How could they act against the known party line? “The Congress has not only conducted this massacre, but they shielded the guilty and rewarded them. Sajjan Kumar was repeatedly given tickets and made MP three times, his brother was made MP for a fourth time, and Kamal Nath was given senior positions. Did Rahul Gandhi ask Hooda a single question? No senior Congress leader spoke out.
Following the controversy, BJP National President Nitin Nabin summoned the three MPs and reprimanded them for violating the party’s stated position on the 1984 riots, according to sources. Speaking exclusively to NDTV, Phoolka denounced the visit and said it was inconsistent with the BJP’s longstanding position of seeking justice for the victims of the 1984 violence. The party’s stand has been very clear for the last 42 years. In my 42-year struggle, BJP lawyers also appeared for the victims. Arun Jaitley appeared, Ravi Shankar Prasad appeared, and when Madan Lal Khurana was the Chief Minister, he made me an advisor to advise him on these 1984 cases.
Since this massacre happened, the party has been supporting the victims, standing with the victims, demanding that the guilty should be punished and the victims should be given justice,” Phoolka said. So, the BJP has constantly fought for justice,” he said. Welcoming the intervention, Phoolka said: “Thankful to Nabin ji for promptly taking action. Here, the moment our MPs acted out of line, the party president took an immediate stand,” he said.
