Sirsa further disclosed that Honorable Judge has accepted their plea and the court issued a notice to CBI paving the way for delivery of justice to the victims after a long gap of 35 years. He said that now the DSGMC will also pursue this case and will ensure that Tytler is sent to jail for his role in the 1984 Sikh genocide.

The DSGMC president said that now the Sikh community will finally be relieved after 35 years as these guilty, facing the law of the land, will be sent to jail after being convicted by the court.
