BJP Reprimands Three MPs for Condolence Visit to Sajjan Kumar's Residence
Three BJP MPs—Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, Yogender Chandolia, and Kamaljeet Sehrawat—visited the residence of Sajjan Kumar, a former Congress MP convicted for his role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, to offer condolences after his death on August 20. The BJP leadership, led by party president Nitin Nabin, reprimanded the MPs, stating the visit was against party policy. Senior BJP leader HS Phoolka condemned the visit and called for a boycott of the MPs, emphasizing sympathy should be with riot victims and their families. The BJP clarified the MPs acted in a personal capacity, not officially representing the party.
