Sonia approved their nominations in the previous current parliamentary elections, and Jagdish Tytler was appointed a Minister of NRI affairs after the last election in 2004. Though under pressure from the Sikh protests in Delhi and Punjab, Sonia has asked lallit Makken, and Sajjan Kumar to withdraw their nominations in the current elections, but why were they initially nominated. It shows the true colors of the Congress, and who knows what else Sonia promised to both them while asking them to withdraw. If congress was protector of all religions, it would have taken strong action in punishing the culprits of anti-Sikh riots; unfortunately it failed to convict a single person over a period of 25 years.
