आज माननीय केंद्रीय मंत्री श्री @HardeepSPuri पुरी जी के साथ 1984 के सिख नरसंहार से पीड़ित परिवारों से मुलाकात की।

उनकी आपबीती सुनकर मन भीतर तक व्यथित हो उठा।

1984 का सिख नरसंहार कांग्रेस के शासन पर लगा वह कलंक है, जिसे न इतिहास भुला सकता है, न देश माफ कर सकता है। जिन परिवारों से उनके अपने छीन लिए गए, उन्हें न्याय के लिए भी दशकों तक संघर्ष करना पड़ा। कांग्रेस की सत्ता में निर्दोष सिखों का खून बहा और पीड़ित परिवार न्याय के लिए दर-दर भटकते रहे।

इससे बड़ी राजनीतिक और नैतिक विफलता क्या हो सकती है?

मैं इन परिवारों को विश्वास दिलाती हूं कि दिल्ली सरकार उनके साथ पूरी मजबूती से खड़ी है। अनेक आश्रितों को सरकारी नौकरियां दी जा चुकी हैं और शेष पात्र परिवारों को भी रोजगार उपलब्ध कराने के लिए हम प्रतिबद्ध हैं।

इस अवसर पर श्रीमती लक्ष्मी पुरी जी, विधायक श्री तरविंदर सिंह मारवाह जी तथा वरिष्ठ अधिवक्ता श्री एच. एस. फूलका जी भी उपस्थित रहे।

1984 में जो सिखों के साथ जो हुआ वो दंगे नहीं थे बल्कि एक अमानवीय नरसंहार था।
Several widows and family members of those who lost their lives in the anti-Sikh massacre of 1984 joined Lakshmi and me at our residence today to remember and pay heartfelt tribute to their departed loved ones. The horrific memories of the premeditated and preplanned killings of innocent Sikhs by mobs led by those who were then in power, remain deeply etched in their hearts. This atyachar against the Sikhs was termed as a crime against humanity by the Hon’ble Delhi HC.

The pain of losing their loved ones is something that time can never fully erase. But, it was heartening to see that many have gone on to build good and fulfilling lives with courage and resilience. 
Several survivors of the massacre expressed their gratitude towards PM @narendramodi Ji who took strong measures to ensure that many perpetrators were eventually brought to justice. 

We are grateful to Delhi CM Smt @gupta_rekha Ji, renowned jurist Sdr @hsphoolka Ji, MLA Sdr Tarvinder Singh Marwah Ji and Councillor Smt @yogitasinghbjp Ji for joining us. We were later joined by @LtGovDelhi Sdr @SandhuTaranjitS Ji and Delhi Minister Sdr @mssirsa Ji.

Delhi: Senior Advocate H.S. Phoolka, representing victims of the anti-Sikh riots, says, "An application seeking bail was filed by Balwan Khokhar, a former Congress councillor who served two terms. He was sentenced to life imprisonment along with Sajjan Kumar. Today, he sought bail, stating that he had already spent 13-and-a-half years in jail, was physically disabled and was suffering from various illnesses. He also said that he had been hospitalised several times. He argued that his appeal was pending and had not yet been taken up for hearing, and therefore, he should be granted bail. We argued before the court today that this case involves only five murders, but it is part of a much larger massacre, a genocide in which, according to government figures, 2,333 Sikhs were killed..."
