In some areas, like Trilokpuri, Mangolpuri and the Trans-Jamuna colonies, the arsonists consisted of Gujjar or Jat farmers from neighbouring villages, and were accompained by local residents, some of whom again were congress (I) activists. In these areas, we were told, Congress (I) followers of the Bhangi caste (belonging to the scheduled caste community) took part in the looting. In South Delhi, buses of the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) were used by the miscreants to move from place to place in their murderous journey. How could the DTC allow the buses to be used by criminals?
 
In some cases the mobs were brought from outside the locality (where they were set loose by local political leaders) and Jats and Gujjars from neighbouring villages. They were transported in vehicles. A large number of Scheduled Castes people were also a part of the mob.

Dear friend,

 
There have been plenty of official and non-official documents, which have clearly brought out the facts.
 
As it is sensitive one, I feel, let it not be discussed, as it would create more heat rousing settled passion.
History is not what was written or is written, but it is actually what had happened in the past.

Mr. Rao if its the authenticity of the report you're concerned with then I can refer you to the link of the website.  It is recognized by UNICEF and NATO as well as has a list comprised of all the people who were involved; of them predominantly gujjars, jats and chamaars...the 'tridev' of the '84 Riots.  There is more than enough proof of this with the nanavati commission.
 
Sir this is strictly for those "Royals" who go prancing around this site ridiculing credible historians and making a mockery out of age-old historical works.  These self claiming "Royals" and "Historians" should come to grips with the realities of what some of their brethren have done and to sum it up their have been more than one instance where they have made prey of the weak, innocent and unarmed for few rupees.  So Mr. Hashim you be the judge of whether that quote is credible or not.
 
It should be shown to the world.

Haryana cops took part in 84 riots: Bhogal

New Delhi, December 3


Akali Dal leader Kuldip Singh Bhogal today told the Nanavati Commission that some personnel of the Haryana police also took part in the anti-Sikh violence during the 1984 riots.

Mr Bhogal said the cops were part of a group of Gujjars who came to the Capital on a train from Haryana on November 2, 1984 two days after the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

They were thousands in number and armed with identical lathis and iron rods. They immediately formed groups and started indulging in arson, looting, killing and burning of Sikhs, he said about the rioting that took place in the Hari Nagar Ashram area in South Delhi.

The Akali leader said he caught hold of one of the rioters who carried a Haryana police identity card. This was a clear indication and evidence that the mob to which he belonged were members of the Madhuban Police Training Centre near Karnal in Haryana. They were sent to create chaos, lawlessness and destruction.

This mob, Mr Bhogal said, damaged houses and killed about six Sikhs in the area. Four of the victims belonged to one Sikh family. They were first injured and then burnt alive by the mob.

Mr Bhogal, who was the then general secretary of the Akali Dal (Youth wing) also told the commission that on November 1 when a communal mob was attacking the Sikhs in the area, the personnel of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) deployed there instigated rioters to continue with their activities.

They instead of controlling and dispersing the mob threatened us that they will fire on us if we do not go back to our houses, he said.

After the police forced the Sikhs to go back to their houses, they instigated the mob to continue with its activities and the mob started looting and burning shops belonging to Sikhs, he added. UNITop

Gujjar and jats dont live in trilok puri and mongol puri colonies. These colonies are slums. Gujjars and jats are very rich here in and around Delhi.
Moreover the maximum of Sikhs are Jats and Gujjars only and they have marital relations between Hindu and sikhs of their respective clans. Why they will kill their own relatives?
 
These were the propgandas spread by the same politicians who ignited these riots. It would be interesting to know what is your interest now after more than 30 years of these riots?
