AISSF Welcomes Decision to Construct 1984 Memorial in New Delhi
New Delhi (May 24, 2013)–The decision by the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee to construct a memorial for the martyrs of the 1984 genocide in Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Sahib has been described as a commendable effort by Sardar Karnail Singh Peer Mohammed (President All India Sikh Student Federation).
Addressing a press conference he said that the country today is being ruled by the same Congress party which was responsible for the horrific killings of Sikhs 29 years ago. Moreover, congress leaders like Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler and Kamal Nath are currently holding important government positions in spite of the fact that they were responsible for mass murders.
Terming the construction of the memorial as a powerful gesture he said that it was a setback for the Sarna brothers (DSGMC members) who under the influence of the Congress government never put the memorial forward.
