Genocide Remembrance Parade hits Amritsar Roads "Sant
Bhindranwale Amar Rahen" slogans filled the air. Amritsar- June 5-
"Twenty-nine years ago, with the attack on Darbar Sahib, the Hindutva
government of India laid the foundation stone for independent state
Khalistan. The sentiments of sovereignty that was strengthened by army
attack on Darbar Sahib have not been buried with the passage of time and
change in political scenario. There may not be any public manifestation
of such sentiments but all Sikhs desire to be self-ruler".
Dal
Khalsa passed this resolution on the eve of 29th anniversary of the
attack at Amritsar on June 5, 2013. Activists of the group carrying Sikh
Flag marched on the lanes and streets of the holy city cursing the
Indian state for attacking their most sacred place with tanks and bombs
butchering thousands of Sikhs. Carrying placards and signboards on which
it was written, "remembering the Genocide of Sikhs at the cruel hands
of India" along with the damaged photographs of Akal Takht Sahib, they
chanted slogans in favour of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and
denounced the government of India for committing what they called the
"crime against the humanity". The protesters pledged to keep the
aspirations and mission alive and kicking for which the martyrs of June
84 laid down their lives. The march that started from Dal Khalsa
office concluded at Akal Takht in the evening where Ardas was performed
at newly constructed Gurdwara in the memory of those who were killed
during the attack.
The President of the Dal Khalsa Sardar Harcharanjit
Singh Dhami who led the long procession demanded from the Badal led
Akali government to release the list of all those men, women and
children killed by the army in the Golden Temple complex during
Operation Bluestar. Law and order being the state subject, the state
government must have this list. In case the list is not with the state
government or it can take refuse in this argument, we would like to know
whether any Akali Dal government has sent any formal communication to
the government at the centre demanding the list at any time? He said the
people have a right to know the names of these who were martyred by the
army during Operation Bluestar. He said wounds of June 84 has not
healed and we still nurse agony and anguish against the tyranny of the
Indian state and the role of the Congress party in particular.
Spokesperson of the party Kanwar Pal Singh said the aim behind today's
'Genocide Remembrance Parade' was to reiterate the cause for thousands
Sikhs who laid down their lives in 1984 while defending the attack on
their faith. Twenty nine years have passed, thousands have died &
equal numbers have suffered long imprisonments but no problem, no issue
of Sikhs has been solved till date, he said.He said the sacrifice of the
June 1984 martyrs would never be allowed to go in vain". "Wounds are
still simmering, even after 29 years. Especially the scars, which have
been left to neglect, said Harpal Singh Cheema of SAD (Panch Pardani),.
KAC chairman Bhai Mohkam Singh said Sikhs would never forget or forgive
the crimes of June 1984".
