Phoolka and Manoj Mitta (human rights activist, journalist) have written the first ever account of the 1984 Anti-Sikh Massacre in a book called When a Tree Shook Delhi.

There were no criminals in politics before the 1984 riots. The politicians were the criminals. 1984 was the year they realized that people who lead mobs and kill others could be elected to leadership ……. This opened up a path for criminals to become politicians.

Phoolka conceived and pursued the formation of the Citizen’s Justice Committee (CJC). The CJC served as an umbrella organisation for several human rights activists and legal luminaries. Floated in May 1985, the CJC has been pivotal in representing the 1984 anti-Sikh massacre victims before the various judicial commissions that have been formed for inquiry into the massacres. Membership included Justice Ranjit Singh Narula, Soli Sorabjee, General Jagjit Singh Aurora, Justice V. M. Tarkunde and Khushwant Singh. As a counselor for the CJC, Phoolka represented the victims before the first formal sitting of the Mishra Commission on 29 July 1985. The proceedings of the sitting were not made public and were closed to the press. In March 1986, the CJC withdrew its co-operation from the Mishra Commission because it disagreed with the commissions decision to hold secret proceedings, and started filing individual court cases.
