"On behalf of our government, on behalf of the entire people of our country, I bow my head in shame that such a thing took place," he said. Congress leader Jagdish Tytler did resign from the Union Cabinet hours after the PM's apology, but no prominent politician or government official has been ever found guilty of involvement in the 1984 riots. “In all big cases involving major political leaders and involving large-scale killings, there have been absolutely no convictions at all.
