Chandigarh/ Punjab: This November marks the 30th anniversary of Sikh genocide 1984. During November 1984 thousands of Sikhs were brutally burnt alive throughout India in a series of organized genocidal massacres. These 30 years were marred by impunity as the perpetrators of genocide were awarded political positions and were given state patronage. The Indian judicial system suffered failure to nail the culprits.
The All India Sikh Students Federation (Peermohammad) has called for peaceful Punjab Bandh on November 01 to show protest against denial of justice to the victims of November 1984. AISSF president Karnail Singh Peermohammad told Sikh Siyasat News (SSN) that survives and victims of the genocide are also supporting the Punjab bandh calls.
“The motive of Punjab Bandh call is not to disturb anyone but it would symbolize the protest of thousands of victims’ families against prevalent scenario of impunity” he added.
AISSF has issue a short video clip requesting people to observe peaceful Punjab bandh.
