To protest the No­vem­ber 1984 at­tack on in­no­cent Sikhs as one of the largest state-spon­sored pogroms in In­dia -the so-called largest democ­racy in the world, Dal Khalsa will hold a Rights and Jus­tice March in Am­rit­sar on No­vem­ber 3, cul­mi­nat­ing in the fore­ground of Dar­bar Sahib where a can­dle-light vigil will be held.

Speak­ing to WSN, party gen­eral sec­re­tary Paramjit Singh Tanda said that “de­nial of jus­tice is a way of life for In­dia -from New Delhi to Bar­gari to Be­hbal Kalan and we are de­ter­mined to fight back.”  “It is time to con­test the im­punity granted to the po­lice,” he added.

While Sikh lawyers are still en­gaged in a bit­ter strug­gle to get jus­tice in In­dian courts, Kan­warpal Singh em­pha­sized that, “the com­mu­nity has lost all hopes to get jus­tice from the In­dian state and it is for this that we would knock the doors of the UN. With fo­rums like Canada’s On­tario State As­sem­bly and US­A’s Penn­syl­va­nia as­sem­bly recog­nis­ing the No­vem­ber 1984 killings as geno­ci­dal, it is now well-nigh im­pos­si­ble for In­dia to block the truth.”
