Youth Akali Dal workers deface Rajiv Gandhi statue in Punjab
Workers of Youth Akali Dal on Tuesday blackened a statue of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in Punjab's Ludhiana. The move was taken in protest against the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and the workers demanded the revocation of Bharat Ratna bestowed on Gandhi. This comes after former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar was recently convicted in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.
