The protesters raised the slogan, “Hindustan will not tolerate the insult to the Sikh community,” and demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi over the massacre that took place during Congress rule.
The BJP also organised a parallel padyatra in New Delhi to show solidarity with the victims of the 1984 violence.
Union Cabinet Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Rajya Sabha MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney and BJP MP Kamaljeet Sehrawat were among the leaders present on the stage, along with other political representatives.
The protest comes as the Sikh community observes the anniversary of the November 1984 massacre, in which thousands of Sikhs were killed in Delhi and other parts of the country following the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
The protesters called for accountability and justice for the victims and their families, who have continued to seek justice for more than four decades.
