SRINAGAR, Mar 19: After 16 years, All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) has urged Centre and State Governments to order a fresh probe into 2000 Chattisinghpora when unidentified gunmen massacred 35 Sikhs in Anantnag district of South Kashmir.
The APSCC chairman Jagmohan Raina said the people of Jammu and Kashmir especially the Sikhs of the valley are still waiting for the justice and demanded that the culprits should be nabbed.
The APSCC chairman said the then Government blamed these murders on militants and acclaims of killing at least five of the men who carried out the brutal massacre but they later turned out to be local innocent civilians. “The killed persons who the police claimed to be ‘militants’ were actually innocent residents of Brackpura proved by judicial enquiry of Justice Pandan Commission,” he said.
The APSCC chairman said so far the probe committee formed by the Government to find out the culprits has failed to solve the mystery of killings of Sikhs in Kashmir. “Now we urge the State and Central Government to go for fresh probe in the killings of Sikhs. If they failed to do so then, we will consider it as a huge injustice with the Sikhs of Kashmir,” he said.
