Sikhs protest outside Rahul Gandhi's residence against Congress leaders calling Sajjan Kumar ‘hero’
The protesters said they were seeking an apology from Mr. Gandhi and other Congress leaders over the alleged remarks
Sikh leaders protested outside Rahul Gandhi's residence on Saturday, demanding an apology for Congress leaders who have allegedly referred to former party leader Sajjan Kumar as a "hero" and "role model". The Sikh community is sensitive to this issue due to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, in which Kumar was convicted. The protest was organized by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) after Kumar's death on Thursday, reigniting discussions about his legacy. Police had deployed heavy barricading around Gandhi's residence to manage the situation.
