Training its guns on the Congress, SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal Wednesday demanded the Special Investigation Team probing the1984 anti-Sikh riots case calls former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and conducts her 'narco test'.
He alleged that planning of the attacks on Sikhs, after former prime minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated, was done at Rajiv Gandhi's residence and so Sonia Gandhi was an "important witness" in the case.
He also demanded that Congress president Rahul Gandhi should also be called by the SIT.
However, there was no immediate reaction from the Congress, though the party had on Tuesday welcomed the court order saying it was "proud" that the legal process was being allowed to work out its course.
Addressing a press conference at his residence here, Badal said, "The1984 anti-Sikh riots was planned at the residence of Rajiv Gandhi, who headed the Congress at the time, and his wife Sonia Gandhi knows everything about it."
