The shocking insensitivity of the union home
ministry in providing compensation to the families of 1984 anti-Sikh riots victims
has exposed the worst kind of opportunism in which the BJP’s central government
has indulged.
After a series of u-turns and lies on the issue, the
manner in which the home minister selectively implemented the decision of
providing enchanced compensation to merely 17 families at a political function
is a matter of shame.
It is a matter of official records that atleast 2733
people had lost their lives in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi alone. (As per
Ahuja committee report mentioned in the Justice Nanavati Commission report
tabled in Parliament in 2005)
Can the home ministry tell on what basis it decided
to provide cheques of enhanced compensation of Rs five lakh to only 17 families
?
If it was an official function, then how was the
Delhi BJP president who has never been elected either an MLA or an MP was
present on the stage ?
Was it an official or a political function ? In
which capacity did the union home minister and the Delhi Lieutenant Governor
allow the Delhi BJP chief to attend the function ?
The lack of preparation of the union home ministry
on the entire issue is clear from the fact that Mr Rajnath Singh has written to
chief ministers of all states for immediate disbursement of the enhanced
compensation, whereas the fact is that 90% of the families of 1984 riots
victims reside in Delhi itself.
When the administration of the national capital is
under the supervision of his own ministry, who will ensure that the families of
riots victims residing in Delhi will get the enhanced compensation ?
The home
ministry has already displayed its non-seriousness in ensuring justice for the
riots victims by setting up a committee to decide whether a Special
Investigation Team (SIT) is required to probe the riots cases.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) warns the central
government that if it does not disburse the enhanced compensation in a definite
time period and if it does not set-up the SIT soon, the party will launch an
agitation. (ENDS)
