Amritsar (Punjab), February 12, 2025: The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami welcomed the Delhi Rouse Avenue Court’s conviction of Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in Delhi Sikh Genocide case related to murder of two Sikhs in Saraswati Vihar and expected the strictest punishment for the him.
Advocate Dhami said that the 1984 Sikh Genocide is marked as the peak of the cruel act against humanity in human history, whose victims are still struggling for justice for nearly four decades, which is shameful for the world's largest democracy.Now that Congress leader Sajjan Kumar has been found guilty in a case of Sikh Genocide, he should be given exemplary punishment.
He said that apart from Sajjan Kumar, many other Congress leaders including Jagdish Tytler were involved in the Sikh Genocide and every culprit should be given severe punishment.
The SGPC President said that instead of healing the wounds of the Sikhs, the Congress, the enemy of the Sikhs, has always rewarded the perpetrators of the Sikh Genocide by giving them high positions.
He said that this decision of the court will heal some sentiments of the Sikhs.He demanded from the Government of India that the cases related to the 1984 Sikh Genocide ongoing in different parts of the country should be proceeded through fast-track courts so that there is no further delay in justice.
The SGPC President also demanded that a resolution of condolence and apology for the Sikh Genocide should be passed in the India Parliament, as this will be a tribute to the innocent Sikh citizens killed in 1984 in their own country.
