Badal attacks Punjab Congress leaders over Sonia Gandhi's clean chit in 1984 riots case

Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal has launched a sharp attack on Punjab Congress leaders over the clean chit given to Sonia Gandhi, which he described as a clean chit to the killers of Sikhs. He accused the party's state leadership of failing to speak against the decision. The remarks came amid the ongoing political debate over the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Congress leaders have not been immediately available to respond to the allegations in the source report. The exchange highlights the continued political sensitivity of the 1984 violence in Punjab politics.
