Congress has blood on its hand and we must learn from our mistakes: Salman Khurshid

“I’m a part of the Congress so let me accept that we have blood on our hands,” said Khurshid at an event in Aligarh Muslim University.

Former Union minister Salman Khurshid on Friday said that his party does have blood on its hands and that people should learn from that mistake.

Khurshid was at an event organised by Aligarh Muslim University.

The senior leader was asked about the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and the riots following the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992 when the Congress was in power at the Centre.

Khurshid replied to the question with reference to these instances that “This is the reason you’re telling us that if someone attacks you then we (Congress) must not come forward to protect you.”

The senior Congress leader later said that this should be a learning experience for others.

“I’m telling you this, we’re ready to show the blood on our hands so that you understand that you must not get blood on your hands. If you attack them, you are the ones who would get stains on your hands. Learn something from our history and don’t create such a situation…so that when you come back to AMU after 10 years no one will ask you this question,” added Khurshid.
