By Jaideep ManderCHANDIGARH: The All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF), National 1984 Victims Justice & Welfare Society and Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) in a startling revelation have claimed to find a mass grave of 65 Sikhs burnt alive in Delhi.

This was revealed by the representatives of the three organizations in a press conference here. The mass grave of Sikhs killed in November 1984 has been discovered after 26 years at Gurudwara in 22 Block, Nagloi, No. 1, Delhi where more than sixty five (65) Sikhs alongwith the Granthi and Sri Guru Granth Sahib were burnt alive in November 1984. The site where Sikhs were burnt alive and killed is located in front of Gurudwara Udaseen Taran Asharm.

The Sikh Organizations also released a list of 49 Sikhs (who were burnt alive and killed) and 9 Gurudwaras of Nangloi, Sultanpuri, Kalyanpuri and Mangolpuri areas of Delhi that were burnt and now lie in debris.

Karnail Singh Peermohammad, President AISSF said that victims at Gurudwara Udaseen were targeted only because they were Sikhs.

Peermohammad blamed the DSGMC for having miserably failed to protect the Gurudwaras and to prosecute the attackers during past 26 years. He also accused the Sarna brothers who head the DSGMC of not filing a complaint against Kamal Nath for leading the attack on Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Sahib and having constantly shielding Kamal Nath and Congress (I). As a matter of fact, no one till date was ever investigated, arrested or prosecuted for attacking the place of worship.

The startling discovery of mass grave of 65 Sikhs along with ruins of Gurudwaras in Delhi and ruins of Hondh-Chillar, Pataudi and Gurgaon is an irrefutable evidence that in November 1984, Sikhs were targeted and attacked in a systematic and identical manner throughout India, said Adv. Navkiran Singh, Chief Legal Counsel to SFJ.

Adv. Navkiran also told that in the relief package given by the Prime Minister though focus to benefit the victims and the families in terms of money, job securities etc. but nothing was offered by the government to re-establish the ruined Gurudwaras.

A documentary made by the AISSF on April 7, was projected that featured all the Gurudwaras discovered in their present state. Adv. Navkiran also told that the main purpose of the press conference was to draw the attention of the Sikhs all over the world aware of the present situation and to support the re-esatblishment of the holy places.

Peermohammad demanded a resignation from that the presidents of the DGPC and the SGPC on account of the deteriorated situation of the Gurudwaras. He also said that if nothing would be done by the Prabandhak Committes, they would start the renovation process on their own at their level with the help of Sikh sangat.

Adv. Navkiran appealed the government, the DGPC and the Sikhs to come forward to protect and rebuild the ruined places of worship so as to restore the secular fabric of the nation.

“We are not strictly asking to rebuild Gurudwaras, instead, any public place for common purpose of the people like public library, public school or any structure can be build that would be beneficial for people in the surrounding areas. But, if the places are left to deteriorate as they are, this would be a disrespect towards the sentiments of the people attached to these places”, said Adv. Navkiran.

Babu Singh Dukhia. President “National 1984 Victims Justice & Welfare Society” urged witnesses and survivors to come forward if they know of any hidden location where Sikhs were killed during November 1984. Babu Singh’s relentless efforts have brought forth the present discovery.

Hi

I think it's a disgrace that SGPC aren't doing about this they have the power personally i think that a new sikh leader or help from ameircan and europe will resolve this issue and bring those people to justice. Also if the corruption stopped we could have a better chance to get justice.

I am sorry if i upset anyone. Bhul Chuck Maaf

Look, I have to say this:

I don't think we are going to get any help from outside/the west with this kind of stuff. People need to shake off that mentality that has them expecting some hero.

It's just us. The rest of the world is stuck in their own chakars to care about ours.

Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone.

This all took place under the noses of the international community. Leaders and personalities of the likes of Margaret Thatcher and Princess Anne were in Delhi when the genocide of Sikhs was in full swing and smoke filled the skies. When political parties seek the Sikh vote, we should raise why their party leaders didn't say anything when they were fully aware and present when Sikhs were being butchered. It's the same as if Winston Churchill was in town when the Austwicz massacres took place.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
