BJP Chief Nitin Nabin Expresses Displeasure over 3 Delhi MPs Visiting Sajjan Kumar's Residence
BJP leadership questioned the three Delhi MPs and warned them against similar visits after they paid respects to Sajjan Kumar, sources said.
- On Saturday, three BJP MPs—Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, Yogendra Chandolia, and Kamaljeet Sehrawat—visited the residence of late Congress MP Sajjan Kumar to pay their respects following his death.
- Kumar was serving a life sentence for his conviction related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots; the BJP frequently targets Congress over its leaders' roles in those riots, making the visit politically sensitive.
- BJP president Nitin Nabin reportedly summoned the three Delhi MPs to question their unauthorized visit and expressed displeasure over the move. Party leadership warned against repeating such actions without organizational consultation.
- The visit caused political controversy given the BJP's strong stance supporting families affected by the 1984 riots, creating potential electoral challenges for the party in a sensitive climate.
- Punjab remains an electoral battleground where the 1984 riots legacy carries significant political weight, making such controversies particularly consequential for party strategy and Sikh community relations.
