BJP Takes Action After Party MPs Visit Home of Late Convict Sajjan Kumar
Three BJP Members of Parliament visited the residence of the late Sajjan Kumar following his death in prison. The party leadership subsequently initiated disciplinary action in response to the visit.
Sajjan Kumar, an 80-year-old former politician, passed away earlier this month while serving a life sentence for his role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. He had been convicted for the killing of five men during the violence. Following his death, three Delhi-based BJP Members of Parliament visited his residence to pay their respects.
The visit drew immediate attention from the BJP’s central leadership. Shortly after the incident, the party chief took formal action against the three MPs involved. While the specific nature of the disciplinary measures has been a subject of internal party discussion, the leadership signaled that the visit was viewed as a significant lapse in judgment given Kumar’s criminal conviction related to the 1984 riots. The incident has highlighted the sensitivity surrounding the 1984 riots within Indian politics and the party's attempt to maintain a firm stance regarding those convicted for their involvement in the violence.
