New Delhi: A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA in Bhopal on Tuesday has expressed hope that the new SIT team will take up the 1984 anti-Sikh riots involving Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath very seriously.

MLA R P Singh told news agency ANI, "Kamal Nath has been escaping from this case for the past many years. Kamal Nath and Vasant Sathe were people who were there outside Rakab Ganj Gurudwara when two people were killed by the mob. The agitated mob was led by both of them. There are people who had witnessed this."
