Sikhs remember Golden Temple attack

The Sikh community on Saturday commemorated June 6, recalling sacrifices of a large number of Sikhs at Golden Temple in 1984 during a brutal attack of Indian army on the orders of the then prime minister.

They set up a camp at Charing Cross near Punjab Assembly and protested against the Indian brutality.

Carrying placards and banners, the Sikhs chanted slogans against the Indian army attack that left a number of Sikhs dead and injured at Sri Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple) on June 6, 1984.

“We can never forget this tragedy and we still await justice,” Pakistan Sikh Gurdawar Parbandhak Committee chief Sardar Sham Singh said while speaking on the occasion.

MPA Sardar Ramesh Singh said the Indian army even didn’t spare the innocent children and elderly men and women.

“We will continue to observe this day and expose the real face of the Indian government,” he added.
