Bagga has accused Kamal Nath of being responsible in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots which took place following former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s assassination by her two Sikh bodyguards.
From 17 Dec 10 AM I will sit on Indefinite hunger Strike against the @RahulGandhi decision to appoint Sikh Murdrer Kamal nath as CM. He is the same person who burned Gurudwara Rakabganj ( Cremation place of Hind Di Chadar Guru Teg Bhadur Ji ) pic.twitter.com/usuJ77BRYE

Showing insensitivity towards the Sikh community, Trivedi commented that she offers condolences to Bagga’s family. She insinuated that since Congress will not change its decision and Kamal Nath is destined to be the next chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, Bagga would keep his promise of fast unto death.
I didn’t have our had any intentions to hurt him. I thought he must be committed to what he said and promised. It would be sad to lose a bright spark like him. Provided he stands by what he promised publicly.

During the run-up to Gujarat assembly elections last year, Trivedi was caught spreading morphed images with Amit Shah’s fake quotes on Patidars.
Kamal Nath is accused of leading a violent mob attack on Gurdwara Rakabgunj on November 1, 1984, in which the mob had burnt two Sikhs, a father and son alive.
The 1984 Anti-Sikh riots took place aftermath of the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, which resulted in brutal killings of more than 2800 people according to official figures. Congress leaders Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler are often accused of playing active roles in orchestrating the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in India.
