QUOTE
OF THE DAY
|
|
From Nanawati’s Report
The commission considers it safe to record a finding that there is credible evidence against Jagdish Tytler to the effect that very probably he had a hand in organising attacks on Sikhs.
The commission points fingers at several “local” Congress leaders, including Sajjan Kumar, MP, late Dharam Dass Shastri and H.K.L. Bhagat.
