AMRITSAR: Sikh for Justice, a US based advocacy group, has blamed on Congress party for attempting to manipulate and delay the Genocide Trial before US court by filing motions on 'baseless' grounds.
Legal Advisor to SFJ, Gurpatwant Singh Panun informed on Thursday that Congress (I) had no defense on the merits against the charges of planning and carrying out attacks on Sikhd during 1984 so it was attempting to delay the trial.
He said after unsuccessful attempt to challenge the jurisdiction of the US Federal Court to hear the Sikh Genocide case, the Congress now seeks dismissal of the claims filed by victims of November 1984 based on the lapse of 25 years.
"The May 29th motion by the Congress party states that killing of Sikhs took in November 1984 and the victims filed the case in March 2011 when the statute of limitation had already expired" said he.
He informed that Motilal Vora, Treasurer and MP of Congress (I) also gave an affidavit to the US court in support of motion to dismiss the complaint filed by victims of November 1984. "Vora's affidavit to the US court states that "no summons and complaint from the New York Litigation was delivered to the Indian National Congress Party in accordance with the Hague Service Convention. The affidavit further states that "Indian National Overseas Congress is not a subsidiary or affiliate of the Indian National Congress Party of India" said he.
Referring to Vora's affidavit, Pannun stated that it has become obvious that Congress (I) being the ruling party of India was thwarting the delivery of summons.
