NEW DELHI, India—A minority wing of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday organized an impressive rally titled “Insaf Ki Pukar’ in Fateh Nagar locality, demanding justice for victims of the 1984 Sikh carnage.
The rally was organized with the initiative of Aam Aadmi Party senior leader and journalist Jarnail Singh, who had hurled a shoe at P Chindaburm in protest against his statement of asking Sikhs to forget the episode of November.
Addressing the rally, Jarnail Singh explained how the genocide of Sikhs in New Delhi and six other states happened following the assassination of the then Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi.
Senior lawyer of Supreme Court advocate HS Phoolka also addressed the rally and put light on the barbaric atrocities committed on Sikhs by communal elements backed by rulers.
Rajesh Rishi, Sarabjot Singh Sahib, Inayatullah President West Delhi AMW, Anwar Hussain, Shakeel Mailk, Advocate TP Singh Nalwa have also shared their views.
I feel AAP should take up the issue of compensation to riot victims as a whole and not partially. What I mean to say is when Govt. fails to protect the life and property of its citizen, it must take responsibility and must at least compensate financially. A law should be enacted and guideline for fixing the compensation should be drawn up. A victim must have a legal right to demand compensation and not to be at the mercy of the bureaucrats or politicians. A victim is a victim there should not be any discrimination on the basis of caste, community, religion, language etc. Lately, we have seen gradual increase of activities of radical groups,this will naturally cause more riots and more victims in coming days. Since, Govt. has time and again failed to curb these activities and in many cases did not play any active role in preventing these activities for political or other reason, it is high time that we come up with clear stand and a concrete policy on the same.
WE WELCOME THE COMPENSATIONS AGAINST 1984 SIKH MASSACRE
Sikh Massacre In the 1984 anti-Sikhs riots there were more than 8,000 Shiks died in all over india. So why only compensations to 3,325 victims? Is it a way of buying votes? Because my Shik brothers are fighting for long 30 years for Justice not for compensations.
Aam Admi parti is only party known to have been fighting for the good cause and welfare of people irrespective of any caste or creed.keep up the spirit,people of India in general and of Delhi in particular are watching the party as they have high hopes in them.
Dear Friends,
Justice should be done for all,not only for Sikhs killed during 1984 riots but also for Hindus who were burnt, killed by extremists in Punjab & other states.Justice should also be given to people of all other religions who were also beaten,killed in similar incidents.Severest action should be against all those of any religion who ill treated women of any religion.
