New Delhi: The Congress on Thursday (November 10) released the list of its state election committee members for the Municipal Corporation Election 2022 (MCD Election). The name of senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Jagdish Tytler is also included in the list of these 40 names. Let us tell you that Jagdish Tytler is an accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.
Let us inform you that, the elections for the MCD in Delhi will be held on December 4, while the counting of votes will be done on December 7. It is being told that Congress can soon release the list of its 125 candidates. Apart from Tytler, the list also includes the names of Delhi Congress unit president Anil Chaudhary, All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary Anil Maken and senior Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit. BJP has strongly criticized this decision of Congress to include Jagdish Tytler's name in the list.
BJP's National Spokesperson, RP Singh tweeted that giving Tytler a place on the list is like sprinkling salt on the wounds of Sikhs. He wrote in his tweet that, 'The Congress has done the work of sprinkling salt on the wounds of the Sikhs of 1984 massacre by including Jagdish Tytler in the Delhi State Election Committee, it shows what Rajiv Gandhi and his team did in 1984. Congress has no remorse for this.'
At the same time, BJP leader and former Delhi minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa also targeted the Congress and said, 'The Gandhi family continues to give special favour to the killers of Sikhs, once again made Jagdish Tytler a member of the Delhi Election Committee. Congress is keeping Tytler happy by giving him such gifts and the Gandhi family is saving Tytler, but the truth will come to the fore, soon.'
