New Delhi: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir
Singh Badal has said he would ask the SGPC to build a memorial to 1984
riot victims in Amritsar — similar to Wall of Truth at Gurdwara Rakab
Ganj Sahib here.
He said this at an “ardas samagam” at Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib here today, paying tributes to victims on the 33rd anniversary of anti-Sikh riots.
“Light and sound programme should be organised at the memorial to tell
the stories of Sikhs killed in Delhi. Schoolchildren should be brought
to the memorial so that they cpuld know about the history,” Sukhbir said,
adding “the authorities know those responsible for the killings, but
action has not been taken against them even 33 years after the
incident”.
On the occasion, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) passed two resolutions — to get ownership right of flats allotted to victims and get the chargesheet filed in the Nangloi case, in which Congress leader Sajjan Kumar is an accused.
