Terrifying conspiracy had Sajjan patronage: CBI - Indian Express
Concluding its final arguments in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case involving senior Congress leader Sajjan Kumar, the CBI on Monday told a Delhi court that a conspiracy of “terrifying proportion” was hatched with his “patronage” during the riots. “There was a conspiracy of terrifying proportion with the complicity of police and patronage of local MP Sajjan Kumar,” CBI prosecutor R S Cheema told District Judge J R Aryan, arguing that this was reflected in the statements of various witnesses in the case.

Verbatim

Nothing epitomises Congress's oligarchic culture, hinging on a power cabal that centres in a ‘High Command', than disgraced former Union Minister  for Law and Justice Ashwani Kumar's parting statement in his own defence while demitting office. “Whatever the PM and the party High Command thought fit, as a loyal foot soldier, I have done, and I am proud of the fact that I have been a loyal foot soldier of the party”. There is no word about his loyalty to the nation, which, for patriotic Indians, should have precedence over party, Prime Minister and high command. But not in the Congress's scheme of things, which, in the final reckoning, is a matter of perpetuating the Nehru-Gandhi family's hegemony.
