New Delhi: Several
angry Sikhs Sunday broke barricades as they tried to march towards
the official residence of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to protest
the acquittal of Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in a 1984 anti-Sikh
riots case.
The police restrained the irate crowd near Parliament Street
police station.
The Sikh groups have been protesting at Jantar Mantar since
Friday, demanding justice for the riot victims and stringent
punishment for Sajjan Kumar.
The crowd, raising slogans against the government, started
marching towards 7, Race Course Road, the Prime Minister's
Residence, as police erected barricades to stop them.
Several protestors who tried to break through the barricades or
climb over them were detained by the police.
The Sikh groups are angry at the acquittal of Sajjan Kumar by a
city court Tuesday in a case related to the killing of five people
in the Delhi Cantonment area during violence against Sikhs
following the assassination of then prime minister Indira Gandhi
Oct 31, 1984.
The court convicted five others in the case.
