I could not believe my eyes when I saw this headline in the newspaper a few days ago: "Sufficient evidence to prove Sajjan Kumar role in 1984 riots: CBI".

The anti-Sikh riots in New Delhi in 1984 constituted one of the worst genocides seen in modern India. The carnage took the lives of thousands of innocent, law-abiding citizens, and raised questions about India being a nation of civilized people. I had the misfortune of living in Delhi at that time, and as an Indian I still hang my head in shame at what happened.
All along it has been common knowledge that many politicians from the Congress party played an active role in the riots. We have also "known" who these politician are. Over the years numerous investigations have been conducted, and not one of these alleged criminals have been brought to book. They have merrily carried on with their political careers, while the nation has just about forgotten the events from 26 years ago.
And after all these years, the premier investigating body of the Government of India has now proclaimed that "We have sufficient evidence...". What were the nation's criminal investigators doing for the last 26 years? Perhaps looking for novel ways to find these jokers innocent...
What a shame. It makes me sick.
