JALANDHAR/AMRITSAR: The Delhi court's order of reopening the case against Congress politician JagdishTytler has given the families of the victims a fresh hope for justice. A day after the order, they said Tytler should be sent behind bars in order to stop him from "influencing the case anymore". The National 1984 Victims' Justice and Welfare Society president Babu Singh Dukhiya, who lost 40 relatives in the riots, told TOI that even after 28 years of the massacre,the case was still at the investigation stage, which reflected upon the legal system of the country and exposed how politicians could influence the outcome. "The court order has established beyond doubt that CBI was working at the behest of Congress and Tytler," he said. "If Congress wants to show some sincerity now for getting justice to the victims then Tytler should be thrown out of the party. He should be sent to jail so that he cannot influence the investigation as it is more than evident now that he influenced investigations and CBI, which went all out to give him a clean chit," said Dukhiya, who lived in Tirlokpuri, which was the worst affected area, during the riots. He has now shifted to Tilak Vihar in Delhi. Manjit Singh, who lives in Balongi in Ropar district of Punjab and lost his father and two brothers in the riots said the country's political establishment and the Congress party should be ashamed that after such a long period the trial against one of the prime accused was yet to start. One of his brothers was confined to bed after receiving serious injuries in the riots. "If Congress had any respect for court it should clearly distance itself from Tytler and Sajjan Kumar," said Manjit Singh added. According to Akal Takht jathedar Gurbachan Singh, it was becoming a case of justice delayed, justice denied. He expressed the hope that Sikhs wouldn't have to wait much longer and justice would be delivered to them soon. President of Sikh's leading seminary Damdami Taksal, Baba Harnam Singh Khalsa also stated that CBI was working under the influence of Tytler. "The court's order has come as a succor to the family members of victims," he said and went on to express his hope of law eventually nailing the culprits.
