Parallel Rallies Mark 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots Anniversary Amid Political Tensions in Delhi
On November 1, parallel rallies were held in Delhi marking the 1984 anti-Sikh riots anniversary. The BJP organised a counter-march led by leaders including Hardeep Singh Puri and Nitin Nabin to honour riot victims and criticise Congress. Meanwhile, the INDIA bloc, led by Rahul Gandhi, held a rally protesting alleged electoral irregularities. BJP leaders and some riot victims' families condemned the timing of the Congress rally, viewing it as insensitive, while Congress and opposition parties focused on electoral issues. Tensions rose with reports of Congress workers tearing BJP posters commemorating the riots.
