In one breath you claim that it was the Congress that was responsible for the 1984 Sikh massacre and then you ask the country to move beyond 2002 Gujarat. 1984 riots were an aberration and people responsible for the same do not hold positions of power. The Congress denied tickets to the tainted guys when there were protests.Remember none of these guys were convicted by the courts. No such thing happened in the BJP. The mastermind is on a whirlwind tour to elicit votes for the party. Hope you can see the difference.

I am not sure where you get your facts from

There are eye witnesses who saw Tytler, Sajjan Kumar & Bhagat leading the mobs that massacred Sikhs. Despite that they were let off (obviously under pressure from the govt). If it had not been for the shoe thrown at PC, they would still be fighting the elections. And also remember that these same people were ministers in Rajeev Gandhi’s govt.

Compare that with Gujarat where a minister has been arrested for the riots -

Maya Kodnani resigns, surrenders before SIT - Express India

If we can move beyond the 1984 riots, we can surely move beyond 2002 riots too.
