AMRITSAR: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami welcomed the conviction of Delhi Sikh massacre accused Sajjan Kumar by Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court in the case of murder of two Sikhs in Saraswati Vihar and expected the strictest punishment for the accused.
Advocate Dhami said that the 1984 Sikh massacre is marked as the peak of the cruel act against humanity in human history, whose victims are still struggling for justice for nearly 4 decades, which is shameful for the world's largest democracy. Now that Congress leader Sajjan Kumar has been found guilty in a case of Sikh massacre, he should be given exemplary punishment.
He said that apart from Sajjan Kumar, many other leaders including Congress leader Jagdish Tytler were involved in the Sikh massacre and every accused should be given strict punishment.
The SGPC President said that the Congress, the enemy of the Sikhs, has always rewarded the perpetrators of the Sikh massacre by giving them high positions instead of healing the wounds of the Sikhs.
He said that this decision of the court will give some reassurance to the feelings of the Sikhs. He demanded from the Government of India that the cases related to the 1984 Sikh massacre in various parts of the country be taken forward through fast track courts so that there is no further delay in justice.
SGPC President also demanded that a resolution of condolence and forgiveness for the Sikh massacre be passed in the country's Parliament. This will be a tribute to the innocent Sikh citizens killed in 1984 in our country.
