JAMMU, Jan 23: Paying rich tributes to the innocent victims of January 1989 anti-Sikh riots, here today, various Sikh organisations condemned the State Government for its failure to publish Ansari Commission Report and demanded to publish the same at the earliest.
Senior leaders of Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal), Sikh Students Federation, Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), Sikh Intellectuals Circle, Jammu Kashmir Sikh League and Sikh Welfare Front, today paid rich tribute to the victims of anti-Sikh in a joint meeting held here today. All the leaders strongly condemned the Government for its continuous discrimination with Sikh community in every field and silence over the genuine issues and grievance of the Sikh community.
“It is unfortunate that successive Governments in the State have failed to publish Ansari Commission Report and to lodge a single FIR in this connection, they said, adding the present State Government has miserably failed to do justice with Sikh community in the matter of employment, settlement of refugee’s issue, introduction of Punjabi language in schools and minority status to Sikhs of the State.
The leaders also urged the State Government to immediately complete all the formalities at each district for the smooth conduct of long pending Gurudwara Elections.
