Rahul rebukes Sam Pitroda for 1984 Sikh remark
Fatehgarh Sahib: Sam Pitroda's remarks on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots last week is "absolutely wrong and he should apologise to the nation for it", Rahul Gandhi said on Monday, reiterating his stand on the controversial remarks made by the Congress leader.
"What Sam Pitroda said about 1984 is absolutely wrong and he should apologise to the nation for it.
I told him this over the phone, I told him what he said was wrong, he should be ashamed and apologise publicly," Gandhi said at an election rally in Punjab's Fatehgarh Sahib.
Pitroda had used the words "hua toh hua (what happened, happened)" while trying to dismiss questions on the anti-Sikh riots last week, triggering criticism from political parties cutting across ideological lines.
While Prime Minister Narendra Modi said it showed the Congress' "character and mentality", Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh termed the remark as "shocking".
He apologised shortly after his party distanced itself from his comments and warned all its leaders to be careful.
"What I meant was move on. We have other issues to discuss as to what the BJP government did and what it delivered."
