Hoshiarpur- Renewing its faith and commitment towards the cause
of justice and freedom, the Dal Khalsa has resolved to
organize a rights and justice
march from Akal Takht Sahib to Delhi based Embassy of the United Nations to
seek world body intervention for political resolution to Punjab Problem.
This year is commemoration of 30 years of Nov 1984
pogrom. This year sees the rule of a party who is wedded to Hindutva and whose
leadership wrongly thinks that they were not party to the crime against the
Sikhs during this difficult times, said H S Dhami head of the Sikh hardliner
group while addressing the press conference here today.
Sikhs were hounded and killed in Delhi. So, we propose
to go to Delhi.
We plan to march to Delhi.
Not just for calls of justice but more. Not just for remembrance but more. Not
just for speeches of allegations but more, said Dhami.
During these agonizing years, the actual victims, their
relatives and friends, the community and its concerned leadership has done
whatever has been possible to get justice but to no avail.
Flanked with party spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh Dr Manjinder
Singh, Dhami said Sikhs have lost all hopes in getting justice from
Indian system. He said the Nov genocide was sponsored and patronized by
political establishment of those times, hence the state would never punish the
perpetrators. Seeking UN intervention for a political solution of the
crisis in Punjab he said no doubt that punishing the perpetrators of Nov
84 was required, but mere punishment without recourse to seeking a political
resolution of the Punjab problem is like losing Crimea to Russia and then
imposing sanctions".
Pointing out that today is Dusshera , he said this march would
remind the Indian state that just as this country continues to remember the
mythical Ravana by burning his effigy on Dusshera every year, we the Sikhs will
continue to remember the modern day Ravanas of the Sikhs who played the death
Tandav against innocent Sikhs.
Reaching out to other ethnic minorities, Dhami told media that they
have invited the Kashmiris, the Nagas and other ethnic minorities including
Christians to participate in the march as “we all have suffered oppression from
same oppressor”. Our pain and agony is
same so we will share the Dias in Delhi,
said he. And
added they would seek cooperation from all like-minded Sikh
organizations mainly SAD (Panch Pardani), Damdami Taksal, Khalsa
Panchayat, United Sikh Movement, Akand Kirtani Jatha.
While interacting with the media, he said the March would start
from Akal Takht on Nov 2 and passing through Ludhiana and Fatehgarh
Sahib it would reach at Delhi
on 3rd morning. He further said the march would proceed from Bangla Sahib
Gurdwara to Jantar Mantar, where rally would be held. He said a select number
of representatives within the community and other minorities would go to UN
office to submit the memorandum to its officials.
Giving the call to the people of Punjab to proceed to Delhi, he
said 30 years ago India –the so-called largest democracy in the world showed
its brute, shameless and satanic face when it master-minded the killing
and mayhem against absolutely innocent Sikhs –men, women and children on the
streets of its capital city Delhi, Kanpur and other cities across the
country.
