Sikh group opposing Tytler on CWG panel

The presence of former Delhi MP Jagdish Tytler as the chairman of the sub-committee on volunteers for the Commonwealth Games has come under severe attack from the 1984 Riots Action Committee constituted by Shiromani Gurdwara Committee Amritsar to take up the issues concerning the victims.

The 1984 Riots Action Committee on Tuesday unleashed an attack on the Centre for appointing Tytler, who is still under the cloud of the 1984 riots, as the chairman of the subcommittee on volunteers for the Commonwealth Games.

‘‘On one hand PM Manmohan Singh has been promising that the guilty will be punished for the excesses during the 1984 riots and on the other hand the government is appointing Tytler as chairman of a subcommittee for the Games,’’ Manjeet Singh G K, member of the 1984 Riots Action Committee said at a press meet on Tuesday.
