AAP: SIT not serious about riots probe

New Delhi, February 21 

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday alleged that the SIT constituted by the Centre to probe the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases was not serious about ensuring justice to the victims. 

This came a day after the Centre told the Supreme Court that only 22 of the 240 cases had been reopened by the SIT for further probe. 

AAP leader Jarnail Singh said, “On February 12, 2015, two days before Arvind Kejriwal took oath as the Delhi CM for the second time, the Centre had ordered the constitution of the SIT. But, in two years, the SIT could only order the reopening of 22 cases. How long will it take to reopen the remaining 218 cases?” — PTI
