Sikhs demand punishment for 1984 genocide accused
Thursday November 05, 2009 (1217 PST)
LONDON: The overseas Sikh organisations have demanded international
intervention to deliver justice for the members of their community who
lost their lives in riots in the wake of the assassination of former
Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on November 4, 1984 in New Delhi.
“Not one of the politicians or security officials, who organised and
actively led the mobs, have been brought to justice, despite
eyewitness testimony evidencing their involvement. Respected human
rights organisations the world over have repeatedly castigated over
the years India’s establishment for the huge cover up,” said Amrik
Singh Sahota, President of the UK-based Council of Khalistan, in a
statement on Wednesday on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the
tragic events.
He claimed that pogroms in Delhi and elsewhere in India in November
1984, led to the deaths of up to 20,000 Sikhs who were allegedly
killed by Congress Party-led mobs in full view of security forces. |
