Minister for NRI Affairs, Jagdish Tytler resigns

Jagdish Tytler, the Union minister in charge of non-resident Indian affairs, stepped down amid mounting protests over his alleged role in the riots in which about 3,000 Sikhs were killed. The Justice Nanavati report released released on Monday found there was credible evidence that Tytler, was "very probably" involved in organizing attacks on Sikhs in New Delhi. Tytler was a legislator and a senior Congress party official at the time of the riots.
The riots broke out in November 1984 a few days after Mrs. Indira Gandhi was gunned down by her Sikh bodyguards in apparent retaliation for the Indian army's assault on separatist Sikhs who had sought refuge in the religion's sacred Golden Temple in Amritsar.
