What did Girish Mahajan say?
Attending the event, Mahajan said, “The way thousands of our brothers and sisters were martyred and the army attacked our holy place was painful. The then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi forcibly sent the army to this holy place and killed innocent people very brutally,” he alleged. Further, he compared this event to Ahmad Shah Abdali’s invasion. “Thousands of people were killed in anti-Sikh riots across the country after the assassination of Indira Gandhi, but no one was punished. Congress is still paying the price for those incidents. The people of the country have rejected them,” he said.
