New Delhi, December 18: The day after Delhi High Court announced life imprisonment to the Congress leader Sajjan Kumar convicting him against the 1984 Anti-Sikh riots case, he has submitted his resignation from the primary membership of the party to president Rahul Gandhi today.
 
"I tender my resignation with immediate effect from the primary membership of the Indian National Congress in the wake of the judgement of the hon'be high court of Delhi against me," he said in the letter to Gandhi.
 
Calling it an extraordinary case, the Delhi Court observed that “normal scheme of things would have been impossible to proceed against Kumar as there appeared to be ongoing large scale efforts to supress the case against him by not even recording them.”
 
“Even if they were registered they weren’t investigated properly and investigations which saw any progress weren’t carried to logical end of a charge sheet actually being filed. Even defence doesn’t dispute that as far as FIR is concerned, a closure report has been prepared”, the court added.
 
The Court noted that the killings were planned and systematic. “What happened in the aftermath of assasination of Smt.Indira Gandhi was a carnage of unbelievable proportions, in which over 2,700 Sikhs were murdered in Delhi alone”, it said.
 
As a common feature of these mass crimes, the Court observed: “The criminals responsible for the mass crimes have enjoyed political patronage and managed to evade prosecution and punishment. Bringing such criminals to justice poses a serious challenge to our legal system.”
 
Kumar has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the reminder of his life for criminal conspiracy of murder, rioting, destruction of property, and for promoting communal hatred and outraging religious sentiments. He has been asked to surrender before 31st December.
