NEW DELHI: As his "so what" remarks on anti-Sikh riots kicked up a storm, senior Congress leader Sam Pitroda on Friday accused the BJP of "distorting the truth" and said things of the past are not relevant in this election. "I have noticed how BJP is again twisting three words from my interview to distort facts, divide us and hide their failures. "I acknowledged the pain of my Sikh brothers and sisters during difficult times in 1984 and deeply feel for the atrocities that happened. "Truth is being distorted, lies are being amplified through social media and targeted. "Rajiv Gandhi took many bold initiatives to plant seeds for technology missions on water, literacy, immunization, cooking oil, milk production,and telecom.
