1984 riots: Sikh body files plaint against Amitabh Bachchan in Australia
JALANDHAR: A criminal complaint has been filed against Amitabh Bachchan in Australia seeking action against the actor for his alleged role in inciting and instigating violence against the Sikh community in Delhi following Indira Gandhi's assassination in November 1984. The complaint has been filed by Sikhs for Justice group just ahead of the actor taking up the role of TV commentator during India-Pakistan match to be played at the ICC Cricket World Cup beginning in Adelaide on February 15.
The fresh complaint, which was lodged with Commonwealth attorney-general senator George Brandis on February 11, urges investigation and prosecution of Bachchan for inciting and instigating violence. International Criminal Court Act 2002 has also been invoked in the complaint that is supported by witnesses Ajmer Singh Randhawa and Delhi resident Babu Singh Dukhia on behalf of widows, victims and survivors of violence that ensued after Gandhi was killed by her Sikh bodyguards.
It is pertinent to mention here that a similar complaint filed in Australia with the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions in October 2011 had failed to attract any action and was rendered infructuous after Bachchan returned from there. At that time, he was in Australia for shooting Hollywood movie 'Great Gatsby' co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Commonwealth has extra-territorial jurisdiction over crimes against humanity and genocide committed anywhere in the world," said SFJ legal advisor Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
Initially, Congress and its politicians had claimed that the US courts held no jurisdiction at all in such complaints, but had then started appearing through their counsels. US-based lawyer of Indian origin, Ravi Batra has been successfully defending them so far.
