1984 riots: 'Why nobody noticed Amitabh Bachchan spewing venom in India’

AMRITSAR: A prime witness in 1984 anti-Sikh riots said that everyone who had been watchingDoordarshan saw how superstar Amitabh Bachchan provoked the rioters.

"I wonder why no one in India lodged case against Amitabh Bachchan for provoking killing of Sikhs," said Jagdish Kaur, prime witness in 1984 anti- Sikh riots while talking to TOI on Thursday.

Following Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination by her Sikh bodyguards Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, India erupted in riots against Sikhs in 1984. Reminiscing the sad memories of hate crime against Sikhs she said, "I watched live relay on Doordarshan and saw Amitabh Bachchan raising his arm and shouting the slogan, 'khun ka badla khun sae laengae' (Blood for blood) two times. "

Jagdish Kaur said that everyone who had been watching Doordarshan was witness to how the bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan provoked the anti- Sikh riots. "I am not concerned that a case has been registered against him in Australia but all I want to know why nobody noticed Amitabh's provoking statement in India," Kaur asked. She said that ever since she saw Amitabh spewing venom in full public glare she never watched any of his movies or programmes on TV. "Any mention of him or his work reminds me of his role in the 1984 riots," she said.

Recently a US-based Sikh human rights group lodged a criminal complaint against Bachchan in Australia for instigating and abetting 1984 anti Sikh riots. Australia's 'Criminal Code Act 1995' states that Australian courts can have jurisdiction over cases involving crimes against humanity irrespective of whether the offense was committed in Australia or not.

Jagdish Kaur, then 42, had seen her husband and son being murdered in cold blood by a frenzied mob inside her house in Palam Colony (West Delhi) on November 1st 1984. She also saw her three brothers Narinder Pal Singh, 35, Raghwinder Singh, 28 and Kuldeep Singh ,21, all contractors with MES, burning to death by the mob while they were trying to save themselves.

FYI: Bachchan says he's half Sikh (his mother is a Sikh) on twitter.

Apparently people say blood for blood was a movie segment that doordarshan took out of one of amitabh's movies and they replayed it only until we get the actual footage can we say something about it. Only thing is what movie was it even from?

The 1984 Genocide would get worldwide coverage if action was taken against him as he is well known across the world. Maybe Sikhs for Justice or others could try and bring this to the western medias attention? Even trying to take action against him would bring the massacre to the worlds attention. We have seen our Panthic leaders are not interested in Panthic issues as they have not raised the recent evidence of Police Killings with anyone.

Why didn't everyone just stop watching his movies ??

My father never allowed them in the house from then and I became a young Dharmender fan !

It gets a lot more than this because he is supposedly a descendant of Khem singh Bhedi (singh sabha) who was a DIRECT descendant of Guru Nanak ji !!

Descendancy has no value as per gurmat/sikh itithas luckysingh jee ..... dheermal, ramrai & prithis were all born to Guru Maharaj's

Also Rajiv Gandhi was his best friend at the time , he could have at the very least severed all ties with Rajiv ....publicly ... to make it known how displeased / angry he was at this mindless slaughter of innocents ....on the contrary the two stayed close until Rajiv met his well deserved fate in 91.

Was he not helped by indira to get a break in the film industry and were not his mother and indira friends, its seems he was repaying the favour by going all out when she was assassinated. He's nanna and his two mammas were british / hindu spoons, who were only concerned about their own interests, i mean their only sister/daughter and his mother married a bheyah, shows how much sikh values were instilled into her/them.

Tytler's mother was also of Sikh background. But look what he ended up doing. General Brar, Dyal, KPS Gill were from Sikh background from both their mother and father's side, but these men are the biggest enemies of the Sikh Panth.
