[Azaad]

After detecting mass graves at Hond Chillar in Rewari district of Haryana and Riyasi in Jammu and Kashmir, Sikh bodies claim to have discovered three more such sites.

The All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) and Sikhs for Justice have claimed that 90 Sikhs were allegedly killed at Bokaro in Jharkhand and Allahabad and Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh during the 1984 riots.

AISSF president Karnail Singh Peer Mohammad has alleged that the local Congress leaders of these cities were responsible for the massacres and that no legal action had been taken against them so far. The AISSF also released a list of 90 Sikhs allegedly killed in the riots.

Peer Mohammad lashed out at respective Jharkhand (formerly Bihar) and Uttar Pradesh governments for “not ensuring the prosecution of all those guilty even after 28 years of the incidents”.

“All the evidences and witnesses are available against the identified leaders of the mob that led the massacres but the respective governments have not taken any action against them,” he said.

He claimed that in the first week of November 1984, a mob had allegedly burnt several Sikhs alive at Gurdwara Singh Sabha situated in the heart of Bokaro city.
