“The army attack carried out on the sacred Sri Akal Takht Sahib on June 4, 1984 at the behest of the then Congress government was the third holocaust on Sikh community. I pay homage to all the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for defending the amour propre and respect of Sri Akal Takht Sahib,” Sukhbir Badal wrote from his social media accounts while posting a photo of demolished Sri Akal Takht Sahib.
