The furore over Sonia Gandhi’s book “Belonging: A Journey of Love” continued today, with Punjab leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal pointing out that there was no word of apology to the Sikhs over the 1984 killings following the assassination of her mother-in-law and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. “Punjab will never forget, never forgive” she said in a post on social media platform X.
Just a passing mention in her memoir… Looks like for the Congress party a genocide is just a footnote!” her post read. She has also admitted that Congress workers were among those accused of instigating or directing the violence. “Many were enraged at their prime minister’s assassination, and the mood was turning ugly. By the afternoon, rioting had broken out in different parts of the city and beyond. Brutal acts of violence were committed against innocent Sikhs.
“4 decades after thousands of innocent Sikhs were massacred, NOT A WORD OF APOLOGY! More than 2,000 lost their lives in the capital alone, in the most cruel and cold-blooded manner,” she said in the book.
