India's Supreme Court has ordered fresh probe into Sikh massacre. India is to reopen nearly 200 unsolved cases associated with a frenzied massacre of Sikhs in 1984 that left nearly 3,000 dead, mainly in the capital New Delhi. The Supreme Court has said it would task a new three-member panel with "reinvestigating" 186 cases previously closed by police into the deadly mob violence directed against the Sikh minority.
The carnage erupted just hours after the then prime minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards, and lasted three days with Sikhs raped and murdered, and their homes and businesses torched. It is about time Supreme Court of India ordered a fresh probe into the Gujarat riots of 2002 as well. It must try to find out whether or not Narendra Modi, the then chief minister of Gujarat, deliberately allowed those riots. Justice must not only be done, but must be seen to be done.
