Nothing justifies 1984 anti-Sikh riots, says Hardeep Puri

Ahead of the 42nd anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri said Indira Gandhi's assassination was a profound tragedy but could never justify the violence against Sikhs. He cited an official toll of 3,325 deaths nationwide, 2,733 of them in Delhi, and praised senior advocate HS Phoolka's four-decade fight for justice for victims.
