Remember '84?

Mausam satshriakaal,

Some time back Kenny sent me this link. According to which Amitabh Bachchan is accused of inciting the hindus to kill sikhs during the 1984 riots. According to the link All India Sikh Student Federation (AISSF) has come out with a documentary where they have claimed Big B's involvement in the massacre.
I am appalled by this new "revelation". After my initial shock I came to the conclusion that this is done more to garner eyeballs than anything else. I mean why in the world will Amitabh Bachchan do something like that. People are just trying to take advantage of AB's popularity and just trying to link his closeness to Gandhi family .

It is clear that Amitabh never liked the kind of politics that Gandhis played that is the reason back in the 80's he resigned from Lok Sabha even before he crossed the half way stage of his term!
It is sad that AISSF is resorting to such kind of gimmicks. AISSF which has a long history of helping the humanity right from pre independence days has lost itz way after the tumultuous years of terror in 80s. Instead of concentrating on people like Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler, the people whose involvement is an open secret AISSF is bringing in a new angle which does not make any sense at all!!!
After 23 long years the witnesses are finally coming out on camera and speaking out what they could not do over the past 2 decades out of fear of their lives. CNN-IBN has been at the forefront of this investigation and has been giving sleepless nights to atleast Mr Jagdish Tytler. I hope this link works as it traces back the history of the 84 riots case in about 4 videos.
I am sure Tytler must be cursing his stars as to how he has become the only visible culprit. There were 3000 official deaths which the Congress govt confessed to but the real number of Sikh deaths was way more than that. It is illogical to imagine Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar to be the only people who masterminded the whole massacre. But as luck would have it, Mr Tytler has become the token symbol of terror.
Though during the time of 84 riots I was too young to realize the gravity of the situation but now when I look back and discuss this with others I think that terrible incident completely changed the dynamics of Punjab. Youth was disillusioned by the system and wanted to fight back against the injustice thereby becoming extremists. Some of those affected who did not took the violent route decided to leave Punjab for good, resulting in migration of punjabi youth to places like Europe, UK Canada and US. Since that time the voice of a separate sikh state became shriller and Punjabi youth stopped joining the Indian army. Had Indira Gandhi not ordered the military to enter the premises of Golden Temple (Darbaar Saahib) the fate of so many people in North India would have been so different.
Though I do not recall the events of '84 but the subsequent years of terrorism are etched in my mind.(Btw the movie Maachis was a very apt description of Punjab's terrorism days) I do not think that justice delayed is justice denied. I am sure the families of the victims will agree with me on this.

If this case reaches it rightful conclusion I believe that will have a warning for Mr Modi to save his skin for the massacre he orchestrated in Gujrat.

Ajj Kaim
