BJP plea on witness

NEW DELHI: The BJP has asked the CBI to take cognizance of claims made by a Sikh priest that he was witness to a senior Congress leader inciting anti-Sikh mobs during the riots here in 1984. The party said the CBI should collect information from Surinder Singh, who made the claims on television, during its re-investigation into an anti-Sikh riot case as ordered by a Delhi court earlier this week.

“We demand that a fair inquiry be conducted to unearth the truth and security be provided to Mr. Singh. The court should also take cognizance of the development,” party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.
