AMRITSAR: A Delhi court's order of re-investigation of allegations against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots has come as a pleasant surprise for the Sikh politico-religious leadership, whose hopes of seeing the perpetrators of the most heinous crime against Sikhs behind bars have once again been rejuvenated.

"I appreciate the court's order, it did come as a slight relief but the justice has already been delayed to Sikh's in the anti-Sikh riots," said Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Gurbachan Singh, while talking to TOI on Wednesday. He said he expects that Sikh's wouldn't have to wait much longer and justice would be delivered to them soon.

On Wednesday, a Delhi court had ordered Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) to reopen the anti-Sikh riot case in which allegations have been made against Tytler for instigating the mob which led to the murder of three people.

Senior advocate HS Phoolka told TOI that the court had rejected CBI's closure report and directed the investigating agency to further investigate into the allegations leveled against Tytler. He said that the court had also directed CBI to record statements of witnesses who had seen Tytler leading the mob in 1984.

"It is a victory of the people of India," said Phoolka, adding that the politicians involved in such acts must understand the fact that the law would eventually catch up with them.

President of the Sikh's leading seminary, Damdami Taksal, Baba Harnam Singh Khalsa said, "Finally it has been revealed that the CBI was working under the influence of Tytler which is why it gave clean chit to him."

"The court's order has come as a succor to the family members of victims," said Khalsa, adding that he was hopeful that the law would eventually nail the culprits who were responsible for the killing of innocent Sikhs.

Additional secretary of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, DS Bedi, said that the 1984 anti-Sikhs riots was a planned conspiracy against Sikhs. "We appreciate court's decision which has brought a ray of hope for the victims families fighting for justice".

He said the issue was not related to the victims' families alone but to the entire Sikh community.
