The shocking insensitivity of the union home ministry in providing compensation to the families of 1984 anti-Sikh riots victims has exposed the worst kind of opportunism in which the BJP’s central government has indulged.

After a series of u-turns and lies on the issue, the manner in which the home minister selectively implemented the decision of providing enchanced compensation to merely 17 families at a political function is a matter of shame.
It is a matter of official records that atleast 2733 people had lost their lives in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi alone. (As per Ahuja committee report mentioned in the Justice Nanavati Commission report tabled in Parliament in 2005) 

Can the home ministry tell on what basis it decided to provide cheques of enhanced compensation of Rs five lakh to only 17 families ?

If it was an official function, then how was the Delhi BJP president who has never been elected either an MLA or an MP was present on the stage ?
Was it an official or a political function ? In which capacity did the union home minister and the Delhi Lieutenant Governor allow the Delhi BJP chief to attend the function ?

The lack of preparation of the union home ministry on the entire issue is clear from the fact that Mr Rajnath Singh has written to chief ministers of all states for immediate disbursement of the enhanced compensation, whereas the fact is that 90% of the families of 1984 riots victims reside in Delhi itself.

When the administration of the national capital is under the supervision of his own ministry, who will ensure that the families of riots victims residing in Delhi will get the enhanced compensation ?

 The home ministry has already displayed its non-seriousness in ensuring justice for the riots victims by setting up a committee to decide whether a Special Investigation Team (SIT) is required to probe the riots cases.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) warns the central government that if it does not disburse the enhanced compensation in a definite time period and if it does not set-up the SIT soon, the party will launch an agitation. (ENDS)

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
