NEW DELHI, India—On November 1, a candle march was taken out in Delhi to pay homage to thousands of Sikhs killed by the fanatic Hindu mobs during November-1984’s Sikh genocide. SAD president Sukhbir Badal, DSGMC president Manjinder Singh Sirsa and Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal led this candle march, which began from Gurdwara Sri Bangla Sahib and concluded at Gurdwara Sri Rakabganj Sahib.
Interacting with media, SAD president Sukhbir Badal said that the Sikhs have been striving for justice since the last 35 years in this largest of “democracy” of the world. “All the perpetrators of this carnage were honored with important constitutional posts like Governor,” he added.
Sukhbir Badal further said that the Congress will forever be known as a traitor of the Qaum for orchestrating the bloodbath and Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh, who sings paeans of the murderers, will be just as culpable.
Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal said that she feels proud to be a part of government which sent Sajjan Kumar behind the bars. “Other perpetrators like Jagdish Tytler and Kamal Nath will also be behind the bars soon,” she claimed.
Beside it, an exhibition of the photographs pertaining to the 1984 Sikh genocide was also organized by the DSGMC in Connaught Place of Delhi.
