Jalandhar -
Slamming the Hindutva Indian system for failing to prosecute high and
mighty perpetrators of Nov 84 carnage, the Dal Khalsa has called upon
the UN to intervene for the sake of justice. The organization along
with other like minded bodies today squarely blamed the Hindutva Indian
system for bitterly failing to deliver justice to victims of Nov 1984
massacre of Sikhs even after 28 years of its occurrence. While judicial
process has began to show some results in bringing the perpetrators to
book in the cases of innocent killings of Muslims in Gujarat 2002, there
has been no sign of justice in the case of mad violence against the
Sikhs. The organizers were categorically of the view that how can
Sikhs expect justice from that state, which allowed the killings of
innocent Sikhs. Hundreds of activists associated with party’s youth
wing named ‘Sikh Youth of Punjab’ led by its president Ranbir Singh
today held a demonstration protesting against the Genocide and denial of
justice. They gathered at city’s busiest chowk to convey their concern
and message to passers by. Earlier, they performed Ardas at the
local gurdwara to pay homage to those who became victim of “politics of
genocide played by Hindutva Congress with the active connivance of
Hindutva state administration. The activists were carrying black
flags and placards on which it was imbibed “killings in Nov 1984, were
not riots but genocide. To draw attention of the people, they had a long
banner on which it was written “The state engineered the Nov 84
genocide, who will book the state. UN should intervene”. Addressing
the protestors, the leader of the radical party H S Dhami said the
justice was still a far cry. He said so far, by all standards, the
international community has let down the Sikh people. Through its
missions in Delhi, the UN and the five permanent members of UN Security
Council was witness to the black days of November when Sikhs were
slaughtered, maimed, women dishonored and children orphaned. “To the
best of our knowledge, no official statement or record exist admonishing
India’s poor political and police governance during that particular
period”. While talking with media party spokesperson Kanwar Pal
Singh said howsoever late it may be, we still seek world powers
intervention and influence on India to punish the guilty. The UN should
investigate the role of then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Home
Minister P V Narsima Rao in absentia for allegedly engineering the
massacre. The poster titled “Who is guilty” addressed to the civil
society was distributed to all passerby. The questions were raised that
includes “do you know about the barbarism of the Hindutva Congress &
RSS Fanatical hooligans of Delhi? Is India a civilized society? Is
India a secular country? Leader of SAD (Panch Pardani) Harpal Singh
Cheema and Baba Ajit Singh Lohgarh, SYP leader Prabhjot Singh also
participated in the demonstration.
