Gurlad Singh, who was leading the protest outside the court premises, said, «Four decades have passed now, and it is judiciary's phrase that justice delayed is justice denied. We demand only the death penalty for Sajjan Kumar.»
Singh said the crime fell under the «rarest of the rare» category as the 1984 riots were a «pre-planned genocide».
The Sikh community, he said, was still mourning the loss of their loved ones, and hoped the sentencing bring would bring some sort of closure and justice for the victims and their families.
