1984 anti-sikh violence: BJP’s HS Phoolka shams Sonia Gandhi's account in memoir

BJP leader and Advocate who fought for 1984 Delhi riot victims, HS Phoolka has questioned accounts of the anti-Sikh riots and Operation Blue Star in Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's memoir. On ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’, Phoolka says the claim that the Army was called in on October 31, 1984, contradicts official records, which, according to him, show that the Army was called in on November 1 and arrived in Delhi on November 2. Citing the Misra Commission report, he says the deployment of available Army personnel could have saved lives. He has also questioned the memoir's account of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's emotional reaction to Operation Blue Star, calling it potentially "crocodile tears". Here's what Phoolka said.
