Intense pain and sufferings endured by Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims during 1947 Partition still haunts their second-third generation of Punjabis as the communities’ representatives assembled here today to observe the Independence Day as ‘Punjab’s Devastation Day’.
‘Gunaahan Da Iqbaal — Maafi Layi Ardaas Tey Dua’ (Confessing our crimes – a prayer for forgiveness) — a unique prayer meeting was held at Punjabi Bhawan in Ludhiana on Sunday, where people sought forgiveness for ‘people killed by their own people’ in 1947.
