Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, her book and BJP leader HS Phoolka.
Controversy has started in Punjab over the claims made about Sikh massacre in the 17th chapter of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi’s book ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’. Sonia has claimed that when people got angry after the assassination of Indira Gandhi, there were riots in Delhi.
.
General Vaidya was ordered to deploy the army in Delhi on the night of the murder itself. Instead of calling the army from nearby, General Vaidya called the army from far away i.e. Dehradun. Due to delay in arrival of the army, it took time to control the violence.
BJP leader and advocate HS Phoolka, who fought the case of Delhi riot victim Sikhs, raised questions on these claims and asked that 6100 soldiers were already deployed in Delhi, but they were not put on the streets during the riots.
He asked why after the Sikh massacre, Rajiv Gandhi said that when a big tree falls, the earth shakes a little. An attempt was made to justify the massacre.
Violence spread after the assassination of Indira Gandhi Sonia Gandhi has presented her family’s stand on the entire incident of 1984 anti-Sikh riots. He has written that after the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the atmosphere started deteriorating in different parts of the country including the capital Delhi and terrible violence broke out.
Rajiv Gandhi appealed for peace According to Sonia Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi addressed the nation on national television on the night of 31 October, immediately after taking oath as Prime Minister. He appealed to the people to remain calm and exercise restraint. On 1 and 2 November also he appealed through various mediums.
General Vaidya called the army late Sonia Gandhi wrote that Army Chief General A. S. Vaidya was ordered to deploy the army in Delhi on the night of Indira Gandhi’s assassination on 31 October.
However, General Vaidya decided to call troops from Dehradun instead of mobilizing forces from the nearby military base of Delhi. This was done because Sikh soldiers were present in large numbers in military units near Delhi.
In view of the sporadic rebellions that took place after Operation Blue Star in the Golden Temple, there was a possibility of the situation worsening further. For this reason, it took time for the army to be deployed and till the night of 1 November and the afternoon of 2 November, the army could hold its position in the sensitive areas of the city.
Rajiv Gandhi’s intentions were right, officials ignored them Sonia Gandhi wrote that Rajiv Gandhi was just and compassionate at heart. They could never justify the barbaric atrocities committed on innocent men, women and children.
However, at that time the administrative structure of the country was completely broken and some officials ignored the miscreants instead of taking strict action against them.
BJP leader Phoolka retaliated…
Historical facts were distorted and presented: BJP leader and Supreme Court lawyer Harvinder Singh (HS) Phoolka rejected the claims made in Sonia Gandhi’s book.
He said that Sonia Gandhi distorted the historical and official record of the 1984 Sikh massacre. Sonia Gandhi is unsuccessfully trying to prove her family innocent through the book.
6100 soldiers were present in Delhi HS Phoolka, citing the official reports of Justice Ranganath Mishra Commission and Justice GT Nanavati Commission, said that on the night of 31 October and the morning of 1 November 1984, there were already 6,100 armed soldiers available in Delhi.
It is wrong to blame General Vaidya Phoolka said that General Vaidya himself had said in his recorded statement that he himself thought that there should be an army in Delhi. For this he asked Delhi GOC and he got the answer from there that we have army.
After that General Vaidya sent the army from Meerut to Delhi the same night. General Vaidya has said in his statement that it is the job of the Army Chief to keep the army on alert mode, while it is the job of the Civil Administration and Home Ministry to deploy the army on the roads to maintain law and order. The then administrative system did not use the army at all.
Why did Rajiv not take action against those who did not activate the army? Phoolka said that Sonia Gandhi has written that Rajiv Gandhi appealed for peace and was saddened by this massacre. He raised the question that if Rajiv Gandhi was not directly responsible, then why did he not take any action against the administrative officials who did not activate the army present in Delhi on the morning of 1 November and the leaders who gave shelter to the murderers?
Attempt to give self clean chit Phoolka said that Sonia Gandhi’s clean sweep of Rajiv Gandhi and the Gandhi family in her book ‘Blogging: A Journey of Love’ is completely against the official documents, findings of investigation commissions and statements of eyewitnesses and is nothing but a white lie.
