New
Delhi / 20.4.2016 The
Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) today announced a committee of
Punjab origin NRIs to create awareness and seek support for the November 1984 Sikh
Carnage Memorial coming up in the sanctum sanctorum of Gurdwara Sri Rakab Ganj
Sahib, New Delhi adjacent to Parliament house.
President of DSGMC Manjit Singh G.K. told the
media that several hurdles came in way of building of the Genocide Memorial but
it will be completed in record time and it would remind the future generations
the trauma and tragedy the Sikhs had gone through when hundreds of innocent
Sikhs were done to death mercilessly during the congress party regime in 1984.
“The
fight for justice is going on as even 32 years after the genocide the Sikhs are
waiting for justice and the perpetrators of the genocide are roaming in free”,
Manjit Singh G.K. told the media.The committee has Harbans Singh Dhillon from
New York, USA as Chairman and Mukhtiar Singh from New York, USA as coordinator.
Members of the committee are Satnam Singh Virk from New Jersey, USA, Raghbir
Singh Subhanpur from New York and Bhai Satpal Singh Khalsa from California,USA.Within four months after taking charge at DSGMC the team led by
President Manjit Singh G.K. decided to build a memorial in Gurdwara Sri Rakab
Ganj Sahib premises and foundation stone of the memorial was laid on 12 June,
2013.
Manjit
Singh G.K. said that the future generations need to be made aware of the
genocide especially children of Sikh families born after 1984. “Genocide is a
dark chapter in Sikh history that no Sikh would like to forget it. The memorial
would pay tribute to those innocent Sikhs killed in the genocide and it would
give Sikh generations the lesson of courage and perseverance to rise in life
fighting the odds”, said Manjit Singh G.K.
He
said that like Holocaust Memorial built in Berlin, Germany in 2006 is a
reminder of killing of Jews during in Nazi regime the Genocide Memorial will be
a reminder of killing and injustice to the innocent Sikhs. The President of
DSGMC announced that after completing work of the Genocide Memorial the
committee will reconstruct homes of the families of Genocide victims in Tilak
Vihar in Delhi which are dilapidated. “We will approach Delhi government to
reconstruct the houses and incase it failed the committee for rebuild the
houses”, G.K. told. G.K. announced that by November 2016 the
genocide memorial would be dedicated to the people and it would have a Wall of
Truth with names of all those killed in the genocide inscribed on it. The wall
would be a symbol of injustice done to the Sikhs and Rajiv Gandhi Prime
Minister of the country is behind it in stalling the justice.
