New Delhi: Hitting out at Congress leader Sam Pitroda over his ‘hua toh hua’ reaction over 1984 anti-Sikh riots in the country, which claimed the lives of over 8,000-17,000 people, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday questioned if Gandhi will oust Pitroda for his comment. “Will the Congress President oust his 'Guru', who rubbishes the genocide of India's most patriotic community in 1984? Jaitley tweeted”. “Sam Pitroda's 'Hua to Hua' reaction to the 1984 Sikh killings is reflective of the lack of remorse on the part of Congress Party with respect to the 1984 genocide” he added. “It is a matter of disgrace that the Congress Party has no remorse over the Sikh killings of 1984” Jaitley said. Congress leader Sam Pitroda created controversy after he reportedly said: "84 mein hua to hua" on being asked about 1984 Anti-Sikh riots. The leader however later claimed that his words were being twisted by the ruling party.
