New Delhi: This time, BJP's National Minister Sardar RP Singh said, according to Congress, nobody has the right to raise the question over the 'so-called martyr, Rajiv Gandhi.'

In the last 55 years, Congress has promoted corruption in the country, the most painful incident in Delhi, in which thousands of Sikhs were killed and humiliated.

All these incident took place during the tenure of Congress, and they are saying that BJP does not have any right to say about Mr Gandhi.

This is not only limited to Rajiv Gandhi but former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed emergency, without quoting any proper reason, which is observed as a black day in the history of democracy.

However, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, MLA of Akali Dal said, "at that time Rajiv Gandhi used to tell lies, now the dignity is maintained by his son.

"After the assassination of Indira Gandhi, Rajiv had said the massacre of Sikhs was a minor riot. When the tree of the banyan falls, the roots also shakes," said Sirsa.

Since the assassination of Indira Gandhi on October 31, the Sikhs were brutally murdered, by marking the homes of the Sikhs from the Voter List on November 1. Congress leader Jagdish Tytler has said this in a video itself," said Sirsa.

Sirsa also added, "Congress did nothing for the justice of the Sikhs and has always tried to suppress the case. Rajiv Gandhi, the then prime minister, is responsible for the massacre of Sikhs, and for this, the Sikh community demands Rajiv Gandhi's withdrawal from Bharat Ratna."

Prior to BJP, the leaders of Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi Assembly also demanded the withdrawal of Bharat Ratna given to Rajiv Gandhi. They placed the proposal on the House Table. But the proposal was dismissed after getting the consent of Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal and other leaders.

Intro:नई दिल्ली. देश के पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री स्व. राजीव गांधी पर भाजपा का हमला तेज हो गया है. प्रदेश भाजपा कार्यालय में आयोजित प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस के दौरान पार्टी के राष्ट्रीय मंत्री सरदार आरपी सिंह तथा विधायक मनजिंदर सिंह सिरसा ने 1984 में हुए सिख कत्लेआम में कांग्रेस नेताओं को जिम्मेदार मानते हुए पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री राजीव गांधी से भारत रत्न वापस लेने की मांग की है.


Body:भाजपा के राष्ट्रीय मंत्री सरदार आरपी सिंह ने कहा कि राजीव गांधी को लेकर छिड़ी बहस के बाद कांग्रेस का कहना है कि शहीद के ऊपर प्रश्न उठाने का अधिकार किसी को नहीं है. कांग्रेस ने 55 सालों में देश में भ्रष्टाचार को बढ़ावा देने के साथ दिल्ली की सबसे दर्दनाक घटना जिसमें सिखों को घरों से निकाल कर मारा गया, अपमानित किया गया और सरेआम नरसंहार किया गया. ऐसी घटना जिसकी निंदा विश्व पटल पर की जाती है, उस घटना की जिम्मेदार कांग्रेस पार्टी है. कांग्रेस की पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री इंदिरा गांधी द्वारा लगाया गया आपातकाल लोकतंत्र के इतिहास में काला दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाता है.

वहीं, अकाली गठबंधन के विधायक मनजिंदर सिंह सिरसा ने कहा कि उस समय राजीव गांधी झूठ बोलते थे और आज राहुल गांधी झूठ बोल रहे हैं. इंदिरा गांधी की हत्या के बाद सिखों ने राजीव ने सिखों के हुए नरसंहार पर कहा था कि छोटे-मोटे दंगे होते रहते हैं. जब बरगद का पेड़ गिरता है तो जड़े भी हिलती है. 31 अक्टूबर को इंदिरा गांधी की हत्या के बाद से 1 नवंबर से ही वोटर लिस्ट से सिखों के घरों को चिन्हित कर उसकी निर्मम हत्या की गई. कांग्रेस नेता जगदीश टाइटलर ने यह एक वीडियो में खुद माना है. कांग्रेस ने सिखों के न्याय के लिए कुछ भी नहीं किया और हमेशा मामले को दबाने की कोशिश की है. सिखों के साथ हुए नरसंहार के लिए तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री राजीव गांधी जिम्मेदार है और इसके लिए सिख समुदाय राजीव गांधी से भारत रत्न वापस लेने की मांग करती है.


Conclusion: बता दें कि देश में लोकसभा चुनाव के अभी दो चरण बाकी है. और उससे पहले जिस तरह प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी समेत भाजपा के अन्य नेताओं ने देश के पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री राजीव गांधी पर हमला बोलना शुरू कर दिया है इससे होने वाले चुनाव में यह मामला तूल पकड़ता हुआ दिखाई दे रहा है. भाजपा विधायकों से पहले दिल्ली विधानसभा में आम आदमी पार्टी के सिख विधायकों ने भी एक प्रस्ताव लाकर राजीव गांधी से भारत रत्न वापस लेने की मांग की थी. उन्होंने प्रस्ताव सदन पटल पर रखा था. लेकिन आम आदमी पार्टी के मुखिया अरविंद केजरीवाल व अन्य नेताओं के सहमति नहीं मिलने से यह प्रस्ताव खारिज हो गया था.
