1984 Anti-Sikh Riots: Fresh Probe Panel, Fresh Hope For Justice?

There have already been at least 12 inquiry commissions and panels in the 34 years since the riots. Can a fresh investigation achieve anything after 34 long years? Or has politics suppressed justice? We debate on The Buck Stops Here.
