Congress Bureau of Investigation (CBI)


Anti-Sikh riots .. Today the CBI presented its case in the court and argued that the magistrate court does not have authority to pass a judgement in a murder case. The court said the argument which the CBI has put is from a case whose judgment was later overruled meaning that, in a previous such hearing, a magistrate court in a murder case has passed the judgment which was accepted by the session court, which simply stated means that the CBI did not want to go ahead with the case and wanted to delay it to give political gains to Jagdish Tytler (Congress MP for North East Delhi constituency). Congress(I) hasn't come up with any plans to sack Sajjan Kumar or Jagdish Tytler as the court didn't pronounced a judgment and was adjourned till 28th April. The last date of filling nominations for Delhi Lok Shabha Seats is 18th April. Moreover, Jagdish Tytler supporters manhandled with the lawyer representing the families of victims who are awaiting for a fair judgment since last 25 years. So, far Congress has been saying that CBI is an independent investigating agency but by the courts proceedings today it is clear that in fact CBI is acting on Congress(i) commands and just wanted to delay the case.  

on IBN...Meanwhile, lawyer for Shiromani Sangh HS Ahluwalia hinted that the CBI was trying to buy time for Tytler.

"I wonder why is CBI behaving like this? They furthered a judgement of 1993 which was overruled in 1998! Then they told the court that it does not have any powers! I was also a CBI counsel once and I don't know why the agency is behaving like this. It should be fair," he said.

Some, congress leaders have asked that to save face, Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar should themselves not contest. This will save the pains and face of the leadership which is yet to to take a decision, though the excuse might be to show sensitivity towards the victims and Sikh community but then how will it wash off its hands from the comments of Rajiv Gandhi who said after the riots "IF A TREE FALLS, EARTH IS BOUND TO SHAKE". Moreover, the dilemma is what if Jagdish and Sajjan decides to spills the beans once they are convicted "Hum toh dobhegin sanam tujhe bhee le dobehegin".

Shiela Dikshit has come out vociferously in support for these candidates ans said that they have previously won from there respective constituency and that the people of Delhi will support these leaders again, and that this was a dead issue only been racked up by the opposition for political milage. 

All this posses two very haunting questions first to the people of Delhi, are there hearts so clouded that for development work of the CM they will indeed give prize to these candidates and let the Sikh community down ? and second does the Delhi CM want this issue to be dead and deny justice to thousands of victims of such horrendous massacre ?

if Congress Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is to be believed then it means delay the justice and let the time heal the wounds even if the justice is denied.
