1984 anti-sikh riots

The Delhi High Court Monday sentenced Congress veteran Sajjan Kumar to life in the first conviction of a politician in the deadly anti-Sikh riots in 1984.
The Delhi High Court sentenced Kumar to spend the remainder of his life in jail.
The Punjab CM, however, said that neither the Congress nor the Gandhi family had any role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
Congress said Kumars conviction should not be politicised and the law should take its own course.
The court has given Kumar time till 31 December to surrender.
