Legislative Assembly
National Capital Territory of Delhi

“The Legislative Assembly of NCT Delhi in its sitting on 21.12.2018 resolves the following : Taking note of the sentiments expressed by Hon’ble Members, this House directs the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, to strongly convey to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs that justice continues to elude the families and near-dear ones of the victims of the worst genocide in the history of India’s national capital; Further, this House directs the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi to impress upon the MHA that it should take all important and necessary steps to specifically include crimes against humanity and genocide in India’s domestic criminal laws, as recommended by the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in its recent landmark judgment sentencing Sajjan Kumar and other convicts to life imprisonment; This House further resolves that special fast track courts be set-up for quick and time bound trials in all 1984 riots cases, since 34 long and painful years have already elapsed, during which many victims have already passed away and the remaining witnesses are already in advanced stages of their lives; Justice delivery system has, unfortunately, failed the 1984 riots victims so far; This House resolves to term this worst riot clearly and unambiguously a genocide; That any further delay will only erode the credibility of the investigating agencies and the justice delivery mechanism in the eyes of the common man; This House also resolves that the Government of NCT of Delhi should continue to fight for ensuring justice for the 1984 genocide victims families;
