BJP leader and national spokesman R P Singh has requested Home Minister Amit Shahto "declassify all documents" relating to 1984 Pogrom and Operation Blue Star and form a 'Truth Commission' to expose the conspiracy and nail the real culprits.
In a letter to Shah, the BJP leader maintained that "there are lot classified documents which will provide details of the then Home Minister overlooked the carnage".
He further stated that one of the notes written by R N Kao (then security advisor to Indira Gandhi) is in the NehruMemorial Museum and Library and it pertains to Indira Gandhi's assassination also needs to be declassified".
"....time is running out. Action needs to be taken at the earliest before truth gets buried with the people who were privy to the events. The formation of the Truth Commission and its findings will also heal the psyche of Sikhssince the 1980s," the BJP spokesman said.
He also lamented that since the last 38 years four inquiry commissions, 9 Committees and 2 SITs have been formed and still they failed to dig deep and reveal the real conspiracy.

In 2014 a big row was triggered when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was criticised for avoiding any
expression of regret for the killings of Sikhs in 1984 mayhem.
Rahul Gandhi had said the government led by his Congress party (his father Rajiv Gandhi) did everything it could to control the violence against minority Sikhs in retaliation for the assassination of his grandmother, then prime minister Indira Gandhi, by her Sikh bodyguards.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the riots and rights activists accuse the Congress of having turned a blind eye and say some of its leaders helped orchestrate the violence.
“It is tragic that so many died but there is no tribute, no remorse, no apology,” Akali Dal veteran
Parkash Singh Badal had said.
Rahul Gandhi had said he had nothing to do with the violence when asked if he would apologize or at least express regret.
In 2017, the CBI was ordered by the court of law to reinvestigate Congress leader Jagdish Tytler’s involvement.
