The statement of Finance Minister came after Pitroda’s remark on 1984 Sikh Riots. Brushing off the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Indian Overseas Congress chief Pitroda had said, "It happened in 1984, so what?" He also said that PM Modi should give the account of the all the work he did in his tenure as the PM of this country.

After Pitroda’s remark leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) attacked the Congress and its leader Sam Pitroda saying that Congress' anti-Sikh mentality was clearly visible through his remark.

SAD leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa, said, "He (Rahul Gandhi) keeps on saying that his father (Rajiv Gandhi) and grandmother (Indira Gandhi) were assassinated. And Pitroda is saying so what if the riots happened. Six thousand people were killed in the anti-Sikh riots. Our daughters and sisters were raped. And now, instead of giving us justice, you have kept the culprits with you. Pitroda has proved today that Gandhi family's heart is full of hatred against the Sikhs.”
