Thousands were killed as the administration watched. Eleven inquiry panels and 34 years later, the wait for justice continues.
The Congress couldn't pin the killings of thousands of innocents on anyone back then and it surely cannot blame anyone else in 2018.
Several Congress leaders were repeatedly named in allegations about the anti-Sikh crimes of 1984. Denials by Rahul Gandhi won't take that away.

An impression has been sought to be created that Balasaheb Deoras asked Indira Gandhi for clemency.
Our feudal attitude ensures that we continue to treat our public representatives with exaggerated respect instead of holding them to account.
Mrs Gandhi's imposition of dictatorial rule wasn't only influenced by domestic politics, but foreign dynamics, shaped by players from Castro to Carter.
Modi government's own track record is not much better than Indira Gandhi's 1975 imposition.
While remembering the dark days of 1975, we must make sure that nobody can impose Emergency-like restrictions on us. Not today, not ever.
The anniversary should not be an opportunity for BJP to score political points over Congress, but reflect within.
