Dal Khalsa to take out ‘Sikh Genocide Remembrance March’ in Bathinda

AMRITSAR SAHIB : Pro-Khalistab Sikh outfit Dal Khalsa has announced to take out a protest march under title ‘Sikh Genocide Remembrance March’ in Bathinda on November 1 to commemorate the mass killings of Sikhs throughout India in November 1984. The march will begin from Gurdwara Haji Rattan and conclude at Gurdwara inside Qila Mubarak where tributes will be paid to victims of 1984’s Sikh genocide.The decision was taken in a meeting of Dal Khalsa held at its head office in Amritsar today which was attended by Party President S. Harpal Singh Cheema, H S Dhami, Satnam Singh Paonta Sahib, Kanwar Pal Singh, Paramjit Singh Tanda, Jasbir Singh Khandur, Ranbir Singh, Kulwant Singh Pheruman, Amrik Singh Issru, Hardeep Singh Mehraj. Interacting with media, the Party’s newly appointed General Secretary S. Paramjit Singh termed the tenure of deliverance of injustice to victim Sikhs as 33 years pain, misery, injustice, hope and remembrance. He added that the march would highlight the role of the then Indian government in planning the pogrom executed through masquerading mobs of lumpen elements with full support of the police and the Congress leadership and failure of the world powers in bringing the perpetrators to justice as per the UN charter. Dal Khalsa’s Secretary for Political Affairs S. Kanwarpal Singh lashed out at the Indian mainstream media for not recognizing the barbaric carnage of thousands of innocent Sikh masses as genocide and using word ‘riot’ for Sikh genocide. “If a mass killing of more than 3000 people of one particular community is not genocide, then what it is?” he questioned.It may be recalled here that thousands of innocent Sikhs were brutally killed by the fanatic Hindu mobs in November, 1984 after assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Victims families are still deprived of justice even after the passage of 33 years and the killers are still roaming freely without any hesitation in India.
