Congress party indicated on Tuesday that it was open to review the candidatures of Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar, who continue to face allegations of involvement in the anti-Sikh riots.
"Congress is a large party and it takes considered decisions at appropriate time. Let us see what solutions emerge in the future," party spokesman Ashwini Kumar said at the AICC briefing held hours after the incident.
Ashwini was asked to comment whether the party would withdraw nominations to Tytler and Sajjan Kumar, a demand also made by the BJP.
In the wake of the shoe-throwing at Chidamabaram, a section of Delhi unit of Congress demanded reconsideration of candidature of Sajjan and Jagdish Tytler, both facing allegations of involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
Jarnail Singh, a journalist with a Hindi newspaper, had hurled a shoe at the Home Minister as a mark of protest against the CBI clean chit to Tytler.
It's a real shame that the Congress party which attacks the BJP,day in and day out on the Gujrat massacre continues to shelter those who are involved in the anti-sikh riots.It's the height of their arrogance that Mr.Tytler and Mr.Sajjan Kumar who are accused and are not yet cleared by the courts are even considered as Lok Sabha candidates.
Even if the Congress ultimately decides against giving these two tickets,it still needed an unfortunate shoe throwing incident to do so.
And on the other hand,if they go ahead and persist with these candidates,well,the people hopefully will vote overwhemingly against them..
In all this the BJP,which was involved in communal killings in Gujrat and during Advani's rath yatra has no moral authority to comment.
