New Delhi, February 19
Aam Aadmi Party national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today urged Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung to set in motion the process of setting up the special investigation team (SIT) to probe the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
In a letter, Kejriwal said they had suggested names of three senior IPS officers from outside the National Capital for appointment to the SIT.
Kejriwal thanked the LG for supporting his government’s decision and asked him to appoint police officers from outside Delhi for an impartial probe. He impressed upon the LG to notify the SIT’s formation at the earliest.
“Some of the witnesses are already old and setting up of the SIT is perhaps their last hope of getting justice. Therefore, I request you to kindly expedite the setting up of this team,” Kejriwal stated.
The erstwhile Delhi Cabinet, headed by Kejriwal, had approved the setting up of an SIT to look into the killing of innocent people in 1984.
