AMRITSAR: In memory of the martyrs of the Sikh massacre that took place in various cities of the country including Delhi in November 1984, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee organized the Bhog of Sri Akhand Path Sahib at Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Gurbaksh Singh Ji located in the Sri Darbar Sahib complex.
During this, Gurbani Kirtan was performed by the Jatha of Hazuri Raagi Bhai Narinder Singh of Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib and Ardas was performed by Bhai Prem Singh. The holy Hukamnama was read to the Sangat by Granthi Singh Sahib of Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib Giani Parvinderpal Singh.
On this occasion, Giani Parvinderpal Singh said that Sikhs can never forget this massacre.
He said that while paying respect to the martyrs of November 1984, he said that 42 years ago, the then Congress government, instead of accepting the legitimate demands of the Sikh community, attacked Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib and other Gurdwaras with tanks and artillery, deeply hurting the hearts of Sikhs.
Similarly, in November 1984, a planned massacre of Sikhs was carried out in various cities of the country including Delhi, Kanpur, Bekaro in a government-sponsored manner. This is a painful atrocity in Sikh history, the culprits of which have not been punished till date.
He said that instead of giving justice to the Sikhs, the Congress party aggravated the wounds of the Sikhs by giving high positions to the culprits of the Sikh massacre.
He said that this attack on the Sikh community, which had made the most sacrifices for the country, made the Sikhs feel alienated within the country. He said that history will always remember this heinous act, the stigma of which will always remain on the forehead of the Congress party.
On this occasion, General Manager of Sri Darbar Sahib S. Major Singh, Manager S. Narinder Singh, Additional Manager S. Bikramjit Singh Jhangi, S. Gurtinderpal Singh Qadian, S. Jasbir Singh, S. Gurvinder Singh Bhoman, S. Harvinder Singh along with all the staff and devotees were present.
