Sikh protestors protest outside court hearing Tytler case

NEW DELHI: Over 100 protestors from various Sikh organisations today held a demonstration outside the court which is scheduled to hear CBI plea of closing the case against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.

The protestors belonging to All India Sikh Students Federation, Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal), Khalsa Regiment were raising slogans outside the Karkardooma court complex against CBI for giving clean chit to the 65 year-old Tytler, who has been declared Congress candidate from Delhi's northeast seat for the Lok Sabha polls.

Flashing placards and demanding non-closure of cases from the Court, the protestors were demanding stringent punishment for Tytler for his alleged role in instigating the riots pertaining to killing of three persons when a mob attacked Gurudwara Pulbangash on November 1, 1984.

A large number of police personnel has been deployed in and around the court premises to prevent any unfortunate incident.
