Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh Monday hailedthe conviction of Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in a 1984 anti-riots case, describing it as a case of justice finally delivered to the victims of one of independent India's worst instances of communal violence.
The reversal, by the Delhi High Court, of the trial court's earlier acquittal to Kumar had once again proved that the judiciary in India continues to stand tall as a pillar of the nation's democratic system, Singh said in a statement.
The Delhi High Court convicted Kumar for conspiracy to commit murder in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case and sentenced him to imprisonment for life
