Facing a mounting attack from the BJP, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi Monday said those involved in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots should be punished, even as he again rebuked his party leader Sam Pitroda, saying he should be "ashamed" of his remarks on the tragic event.
Addressing a poll rally in Hoshiarpur, Gandhi said that what happened in 1984 was very wrong.
"Pain, which is there in people's hearts, you (Pitroda) should respect that, and those who committed wrongs in 1984 (riots), there should be action against them and action will be taken."
