Sikh Groups Contest Bachchan's Claim Of Innocence

Amritsar, Dec 6: Contesting actor Amitabh Bachchan’s statement that he had not said anything against Sikh community during the 1984 riots, two groups have urged the Akal Takht to reject his letter in which he has claimed innocence.

In a memorandum submitted to Jathedar Akal Takht Gyani Gurbachan Singh, All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) president Karnail Singh Peermohammad and National 1984 Victims Justice and Welfare Society chief Babu Singh Dukhiya urged the Sikh temporal body to give a direction to ruling Shiromani Akali Dal(Badal) and SGPC members “to stop supporting Bachchan’s attempt to get clean chit”.
